Bird in a box

You’re all of the reasons

I’m no ornithologist

Just a girl who wants to believe

 

In my own good

In atonement

In redemption

Together surviving are we

 

Bird in a box

You’re more than wax feathers

Hope on a heating pad

For a girl who needs warming up

 

To her own good

To atonement

To redemption

A pair of survivors

 

Bird in a box

I know flight is coming

One day we’ll go see the sky

You and your girl who is flightlessly crippled

 

By her own good

By atonement

By redemption

By her urge to survive this
