caged

Right now I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and rivalry
They don't know how I feel inside
Through my smile I cry
They don't know what they're doin' to me
Keeping me from flyin'
That's why I say that
I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to others
Why not just set her free
So she can
Fly, fly, fly
Spreadin her wings and her song
Let her
Fly, fly fly
For the whole world to see
She's like caged bird
Ooh just let her fly...

Those left standing will make millions
Writing books on the way it should have been

She woke in the morning.
She knew that her life had passed her by
She called out a warning.

Don't
ever
let
life
pass
you
by.

Poe - Fly Away
It makes sense that it should happen this way
That the sky should break, and the earth should shake
As if to say: Sure it all matters but in such an
unimportant way
As if to say:

Fly away, sweet bird of prey
Fly fly away
Nothing can stand in your way
Sweet bird, if you knew the words
I know you'd say: fly, fly away

It makes sense that it should hurt in this way
That my heart should break, and my hands should shake
As if to say: Sure it don't matter except in the most
important way
As if to say:

Fly away, sweet bird of prey
Fly fly away
I won't stand in your way
Sweet bird, if you knew the words
I know that you'd say: fly, fly away

It makes sense that it should feel just this way
That you slowly fade and yet still remain
As if to say: Everything matter in such an invisible way
As if to say: It's O.K.
Fly...away

Tori Amos - A Sorta Fairytale

on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood
and i was talkin to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing
but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining

and i'm so sad
like a good book i can't put this
day back
a sorta fairytale with you
a sorta fairytale with you

things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
i tried to downplay it with a
bet about us
you said that
you'd take it as
long as i could
i could not erase it

and i'm so sad
like a good book i can't put this
day back
a sorta fairytale with you
a sorta fairytale with you

and i ride along side
and i rode along side you then
and i rode along side
til you lost it there in the open road
and i road along side
until the honey spread itself so thin for me
to break your bread
for me to take your word
i had to steal it

way up north i took my day
all in all it was a pretty nice day and i
put the hood right back where
you could taste heaven perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back and i
i don't
didn't think
we'd end up like this

and i'm so sad
like a good book i can't put this
day back

a sorta fairytale with you
a sorta fairytale with you

i could pick back up whenever i feel
