Bird of Prey

I need to go outside so I can breathe

Despite what I say you're not listening

I just need some time to collect my peace

You don't really care so just leave me be

I'll listen to the birds as they sing for me 

They watch me from the trees and they hear me weep

My sobbing is the chorus to their melody  

Humming to their songs makes me feel less weak

Never has a bird tried to swing at me

Or break into my car while I try to flee

You're not like them; that's disheartening 

Baby get some help; you need therapy

 

1:46

Like two doves in the sky we'd get so high 

Our nest was full of laughter every night 

Little did I know you're a wicked crow 

I'm fleeing from the murder; I need to go

You see me as a shrike, your mortal foe

But I'm the one impaled by the hate you sow

 

2:57

Baby please tell me where it all went wrong

I'm a lonely songbird, and you're a hawk

When did your talons first seek my throat?

I loved you in every way that I know 

I guess I invested in a cuckoo's nest

Left with PTSD, Imposter Syndrome

Now I only feel safe when I'm alone

How can you sleep with what you've done to me?

I just wanna fly; you'd rather clip my wings

Now the only way I feel safe to sleep

Is if I hear the cardinals sing to me
