[Verse 1]
I won't play the saint
No, not this time
I'm a mirror of exhaustion falling through the lines
I won't be the victim or the primary suspect
It's not a matter of lack of love
But a lack of respect
[Chorus]
And I am just a bird on a wire
And I'm just looking for desire
And I threw caution out the door
I've had my fill of tainted liars
Fly on darling, Little bird on a wire
[Verse 2]
Crazy thing when we vanish through the door
An amazing tale of pride and exploration
Inundation, frustration at the seams
Even Noah and his arc couldn't navigate these dreams
[Chorus]
And I am just a bird on a wire
And I'm just looking for desire
And I threw caution out the door
I've had my fill of tainted liars
Fly on darling, Little bird on a wire
[Bridge]
The sky is yours
No shackles now
The weight on my shoulders
Is found on the ground
The sky is yours
No shackles now
The weight on my shoulders
Is found on the ground
[Chorus]
And I am just a bird on a wire
And I'm just looking for desire
(Let me fly)
And I threw caution out the door
I've had my fill of tainted liars
Fly on darling, fly on darling
And I had my fill of tainted liars
(I'm just a bird on a wire)
And I threw caution out the door
I've had my fill of tainted liars
Fly on darling, Little bird on a wire
[Outro]
I won't play the saint
No, not this time
I'm a mirror of exhaustion falling through the lines
