Oh, my talking bird
Though you know so few words
You're on infinite repeat
Like your brain can't keep up with your beak
You're kept in an open cage so your free to leave or stay
Sometimes you get confused
There's a hint that I'm trying to give you
The longer you think the less you know what to do
It's hard to see your way out
When you live in a house, in a house
You don't realize that the windows
Were open the whole time
Oh, my talking bird
Though your feathers are tattered and furled
I'll love you all your days
'Til your breath leaves your delicate frame
It's all here for you as long as you choose to stay
It's all here for you as long as you don't fly away
