this little birdy
One day
This birdy will be flying out the nest
Looking after himself
And laughing at the rest
Usually the rest are laughing behind his back
Usually the punchline is a redundant crack
Usually he's feeling like a broken arrow
Come to face his fears
He's a hawk not a sparrow
Thirty-five
second
drop
Brains about to burst and pop
Pop and flop right on the ground
After he crashes he won't make sound
Unless he spreads those fucking wings
He'll chirp and strive to sing
Breaking all the limits
Breaking all the rules
Feeling like he's caged up
Inside his fucking school
Nobody gave him a free flight
To life
He had to keep pushing
He had to always fight
Unleash his talons
Unleash his beak
He's feasting on freedom
He's no longer a freak
This birdy will be flying out the nest
Looking after himself
And laughing at the rest
Usually the rest are laughing behind his back

Come to face his fears

Nobody gave him a free flight
To life
He had to keep pushing
He had to always fight
Unleash his talons
Unleash his beak
He's feasting on freedom
He's no longer a freak
