[Verse 1]

[Verse 1] They must have told you Put the birds in cages Trap them, haze them Steal their language A song we sing, replaced by speak Uttered from lips, not a avian beak. [Chorus] It's not you who empowers me to sing Or to spread my incandescent yellow wings Am I a prisoner to you or are you to me? Neither way are either of us free [Verse 2] I know that this isn’t you Only a hatred raised by feelings of spite I know some day you will see That even in the dark, there is still so much light [Chorus] It's not you who empowers me to sing Or to spread my incandescent yellow wings Am I a prisoner to you or are you to me? Neither way are either of us free [Bridge] Open up your eyes, and open up your mind Because it’s in the very same valley of shadows where you lay to waste that I found my inner flight [Chorus] It's not you who empowers me to sing Or to spread my incandescent yellow wings Am I a prisoner to you or are you to me? Neither way are either of us free [Outro] You’re just a coward Afraid of what’s different, Consumed by fear.
