The Bird & The Cage Lyrics

[Intro]

[Allan & Girl]
Yeah
Allan, where are you?
I had to go for a drive
Just need some space
I don't get it, you wanted me like this, you wanted me this way
No, I don't know how to have you like this
Allan, everything that happened in the last three weeks
I don't remember any of it
I sound crazy, but it's true
You have to believe me
Something happened to me, to us
All I want in this world are you and my music, you know that
You really scared the hell out of me today
Look, I'll be home late tonight
Just need some time is all
Allan, wai—

[Song One]

[Intro]
He can't be loved right now, no
He can't be loved right now, no

[Verse 1]
Well he woke up like this
Oh, carefree, he's careless, uh
He take after his mama
I know he hears voices, uh
Well, listen to them [?], no
It's power
Well, driven by these motives, he can't even understand
He sees ears, they see albums, uh
Start a fire, row twenty-two
In the woods, late, [?], uh
One song, new lyric
One face, two voices, amen
Now he follows them, oh
Well, now he's listening, oh
Now he's listening, got 'em all listening
One face, two voices, amen, uh, amen

[Chorus]
We're best alone
He can't be loved right now
We're better alone
He can't be loved right now, no (Oh, oh, oh)
We're best alone
Can't be loved right now
We're better alone
He can't be loved right now, no (Oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm alive and well (Woah)
With only five years I've slept (Woah)
My body's strong and still (Woah)
After all the tears we wept, oh
I will listen to your words out
It's power
And take a bite from the apple
Second thought, eat the whole damn thing while I slither
I'm helping you, can't you see that?
I'm tryna finish what you started
That you wouldn't have the strength to finish even if you got it
Oh, I know that
That's how this [?]
[?], ayy
Work with me Allan

[Chorus]
We're best alone
He can't be loved right now
We're better alone
He can't be loved right now, no
We're best alone
Can't be loved right now
We're better alone

[Backstage]

Not now...
Shut up, shut up, not now
Allan
Shut up
Allan
No, no
Allan
Shut up, shut up, not now
Allan
Let me handle this
(Allan! Allan!)
Yeah, sorry, one minute, please
All those people out there, all those faces
Screaming at you, looking at you
How long can you really ride the wave?
How long before the crash?
(Allan!)
Yeah, yeah, alright

[Song Two]

[Verse 1]
How many people have I met before?
How many stories have I heard before?
How many times does the introduction hold me accountable?
That was Allan Rayman, no
This is Mr. Roadhouse, nice to meet you
If you follow me, I'll take you to the backroom
Please take your shoes off, don't need 'em in the backroom
You've been here before? Well, this is best without them
No one knows about them
Welcome to the circle, Mr. Roadhouse
Wait, what about Allan?
He'll be alright, just go ahead, I'll tell him
Woah, uh
I'll tell him what he misses
Tell him what he love about it, everything he wishes
All the girls love him now, his friends are getting vicious
This is talent, boy
This a world for the idols, build a statue, boy
They're smiling at you, boy
Quick, check his vitals
Oh, Allan

[Chorus]
Oh, how did we get here?
What have you done now?
Oh no, oh no
How did we get here?
What have you done now, Mr. Roadhouse?

[Outro]
Sometimes, well, now most times
I feel like I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my mind
I'm gone

[Shuttle Launch]

T-minus fifteen seconds, guidance is internal
Twelve, eleven, ten, nine
Ignition sequence start
Six, five, four, three, two, one, zero
All engines running
Lift off, we have a lift off

The three liquid fuel engines will now throttle back to sixty-seven percent of rated performance
Reducing our stress on the shuttle as it breaks through the sound barrier

[Song Three]

[Verse 1]
I'm not up, I feel
So chewed up, it's real
Oh, what have I done?
Oh, no
I rattled the cage
This is not my name
Look what I've become

[Chorus]
There's nothing you can do now
I brought this all on myself
There's nothing you can do now
I brought this all on myself

[Verse 2]
Oh, beware the wolf (Beware the wolf)
(He knows the woods) He knows the woods
(He sees ahead) He sings ahead
(He's gone too far too fast)
He's gone (He knows the path they speak of)
Too far too fast (Only whispers)
He knows the path (Beware the wolf)
They don't speak of (Beware the wolf)
2 years coming

[Chorus]
There's nothing you can do now
I brought this all on myself
There's nothing you can do now
I brought this all on myself

[Outro]
There's nothing you can do now

[End]

Together, you and I are laying the foundation of your idol
Together, we are wolves of the hunt
Without me, you're nothing but a sheep to the slaughter
Allan?
Let me take care of this
Embrace your destiny
