lyrics

Stone by stone I create
What I don’t understand
Nothing ever ends the wait
Ashes falling from my hand

Do you know?
Who I am?
I don’t know
Who I am

Should I give away control

Do you know?
What I am?
I don’t know
What I am

Should I give away control?
Keep my mind or let it go
Should I give away control?
Keep my mind or let it go

I am a cage in search of a bird
One I can’t find in this world
To live and to learn, to halt and to die
Better to yearn, let the soul cry

I am a cage in search of a bird
One I can’t find in this world
To live or to halt, let it run dry
Until we watch the songbird die

Day by day I succumb
To what I cannot explain
Slowly fading, feeling numb
Is it all in vain?

Do you know?
Who I am?
I don’t know
Who I am

Should I give away control

Do you know?
What I am?
I don’t know
What I am

Should I give away control?
Keep my mind or let it go
Should I give away control?

I am a cage in search of a bird
One I can’t find in this world
To live and to learn, to halt and to die
Better to yearn, let the soul cry

I am a cage in search of a bird
One I can’t find in this world
To live or to halt, let it run dry
Until we watch the songbird die

I am a bird
Singing so softly

In this old cage
I am singing my song of death

Spread your wings
Let them see all your splendor
Burn your fears
Let them hear the bird singing

The silence owns me
It screams with me
It won’t let me fly

This darkness holds me
It keeps me in its cage
It won’t let me go

One day I came across this title on YouTube and it intrigued me. The nostalgy hit me so much that I went back on IRC in 2019. Thanks to that, I met my girlfriend after being single for 15 years, and moved to a new town 6 hours away from me. All of that because of a click on that song. Music has the power to change people's life and this track is my personal proof of that fact. swipesomething
