Jailbird Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Someone call the guards, I think I might start a fire
I'm losing all control, I'm giving into desire
Climbing over restless limbs
All tied up in knots from loving him
[Chorus]
I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy
Being a jailbird
I'm burning down the walls to light up the front door
Tearing down the holes to see the light once more
Jailbird, not gonna be a jailbird anymore
[Verse 2]
I don't feel any bit of my old dark self
Maybe I'll be cold without my protective shell
But all I know is I won't grow
Being captive to your control
[Chorus]
I'm going crazy, been going crazy
Being a jailbird
I'm burning down the walls to light up the front door
Tearing down the holes to see the light once more
Jailbird, not gonna be a jailbird anymore
Jailbird, jailbird
[Bridge]
Ooh, thanks to my boy, I leave you now
Bye love
If we met again, I'd hold you dear
But bye for now, my love
[Chorus]
I'm burning down the walls to light up the front door
Tearing down the holes to see the light once more
Jailbird, not gonna be a jailbird anymore
Jailbird, jailbird

What did SHELLS say about "Jailbird"?
From an interview (http://www.highclouds.org/shells-jailbird-interview/):
The story’s in the title really. We used lots of live instruments in the studio, percussion, cut-up cymbals, chest-slaps and claps, humming and Kora sounds […] It was great fun creating and building delicate and minimal music...
