lyrics

Illiterate Lament

I am a bird sitting in its cage
I sometimes stare up at the sky
But mostly I can’t take the pain
And so I decorate my bars
I groom my feathers and pretend
I remember how to fly
To fly

I can’t read, I can’t write
God made me, for one thing
I need to sing till the oceans engulf me
Sing until the clouds crack
And Jesus comes back
And tells me that
I can’t read, I can’t write
God made me, for one thing

I am drowning in an endless sea
I am starving in a cave
But I can no longer scream
I have no sound
I meditate on the suffocating lack that I feel
I pretend that I can die
Can die

I can’t read, I can’t write
God made me, for one thing
I need to sing until the oceans engulf me
Sing until the clouds crack
And Jesus comes back
And tells me that
I can’t read, I can’t write
God made me, for one thing

Dreaming is all that is real
Everything else is society’s social sewage
That stops you from believing in what you deserve
That stops you from believing in what you deserve
