there was a man on a hill
with a bird in a cage
lifted up to his head
listen to what he said
"my hands can open the cage
give me a reason to let you go
my hands can break the cage
give me a reason to let you go
there is nothing out there but misery
im quite aware that now you know"
not for the reason i found you
not for the reasons i once held to
you are the reason i found myself
and i find myself despising you
so don't call me in the morning
don't come knocking on my door
lest your bird in a cage
has flown forevermore
