I get up, I've got nowhere to go

I get out, I've got no one to see

Then I hide, never to be found

Yes I hide, never to be found

And I wait for something to go wrong

'Cause the world is never on my side

So I crawl, back into my cage

Where I'm safe from all the troubled souls

[Chorus]

Everything you touch seems to turn into dust

Everything you do comes back to haunt you

And that's just how the story always goes

And I walk on this fragile land

And I try so hard to stay alive

While the gods passively admire

My will giving in to desire

[Chorus]

Evеrything you touch seems to turn into dust

Everything you do comes back to haunt you

And that's just how the story always goеs

[Outro]

Tolerate the empty times

Try to read between the lines

Tolerate the empty times

Try to read between the lines

Why does the caged bird sing?
