nathan r. allen - birdz lyrics

[verse 1]
feral suburbanite quashing textbooks at home
silver spoon suppressed, learned to venture alone
parenting priorities impeded social progress
exposed to doctrine solemn at a low church conference
said my ignorance was a testament to heaven’s cleanse
ready for defending it, the hope was i would never vent
too much conflict, felt safe being bland
my word meant nothing; you could tell me who i am

take off, little creature

[verse 2]
inst-tutionalized within the nest i grew
how can you flock with our own and claim the best eye view?
i’m master of my own talons, life is l-st and jealousy
my caged feelings are just melodies and petty tweets
i’m a chicken hawk, full of wishes, no commitment
i keep my pinions to myself unless i’m given permission
so why choose to fight when you’ve had wings since a baby?
rapt in my daydreams and i’m aging pain-free

[bridge]
if you don’t tell me why, it’s likely that i won’t apply it
i’m the silent type to mope and hope you ask me why i’m crying
type to grit my t–th through cringes, side with non-violent pariahs
private, voyeuristic, watching people live, wish i could try it, flying

[outro]
i once thought this was a phase
but the only things i’ve seen change
are the planes, the weather and my age
maybe i’ll capitulate to the species i’m made
