So we sat together and talked about raiding places for gum
It wasn't what we talked about, it wasn't what we talked about
Just trying to keep my cage open
Reminding myself to keep my cage open
Just trying to keep myself open
And you're pulling and you're pushing
Level it out and I soften, no
And then your limbs give out and they let you down
Then you open yourself to breathe
What would it take for someone just to be nice
We can't all be canaries
So I glued the corners of the bag so it would stay together
Then I told you that my buildings were burning when they weren't
And I asked to leave early to care for the ones that didn't exist
I'm keeping my cage closed
Keeping my cage closed
Keeping my cage closed
Closed, closed, closed, closed
And you're pulling and you're pushing
And then you level it out and I soften
No and then your limbs give out and they let you down
Just trying to keep myself open now
Keep me open
Keep me open
And you're pulling and you're pushing
Level it out and I soften
No and then your limbs give out and they let you down
And they let you down
And you're pulling and you're pushing
Level it out and I soften
No, no and then your limbs give out and they let you down
Open yourself to breathe
