Lily (Live)
Jaye Bartell
[Intro]
A warm welcome
[Verse 1]
Lily, when did you start speaking to me?
Was it when I went into the cage
Or was it just after I changed
[Verse 2]
Lily, I no longer have a name
I don't know a human language
My hands and arms are winged, but they're clipped
[Verse 3]
I'm staying, I'm staying in the cage
It's the best for a bird who wouldn't what a home was
Even if you built him a birdhouse
And filled it with string, little pieces of string
Mound of tissue and stitching
Which you can use on the day that I fall to the base of the cage
[Verse 4]
Lily, I woke up screaming
Fuck 'em, I got nothing
But I gotten guts
