fish in a birdcage - further from the truth lyrics

there was a place when i was small
where i would go to dream
where i would be alone
a mantel from a fireplace
boarded up long ago
i would try to peek through cracks
in the wood, but i lacked
light from the fuel that once burned there
now it’s so dark and cold
even through the boarded planks
i could tell, piles of ash from the smell
i could feel the rushing wind
that searched the ground for somewhere else to go
maybe there could be, something south
i can’t see, through the mouth
of stone in the bas+m+nt
of my past, so many years ago

there was a room when i was young
where i would keep books
where i might read alone
those pages had a lot to say
they brought me into other worlds
pictures and words would fill the gaps
in my head, i didn’t know i had
portals would open, i would stare
in through another’s eyes
underneath the wooden stairs i grew to know
what i might see, where i could go
possibilities of what my future holds
an atlas on every page
i would try to hear through cracks
older sentences, paragraphs
to build up a tiny human being
with so much left to grow
