Caged Bird

The World According 2
2
As in the sequel

From the safety of the shore I watched the carrier crash
I keep a ship in a bottle. Plus carry a flask
I see the camera flash...will that stamina last?
But that's a thing of the past
Like carrying cash
I went from paragon to some carrion fast
Weary of the fear I managed to craft out of my ass
Shit I'm just faking it til I'm making it passed
I can't escape it so I break it in half
Now at both ends burns the candle
Me and wack belong together
Like socks and sandals
Creating daily and continuing to fascinate
Shit....
I keep meaning to procrastinate
I'll get to that next week
For now regurgitating words to your baby birds beaks
I find it easy to speak at speak easys
And seek to have my speech leave you uneasy and weak

It's a long way up
But a longer way down
But gravity?
Easier to come by than wings

It ain't always been rough
Found comfort in the sound
Emitting from the cage as the caged bird sings
As the caged bird sings
As the caged bird sings
As the caged bird sings
Sound emitting from the cage as that caged bird sings
