My Sparrow

write it on the walls

and on the edge of your brain



you take out all the pleasure

yet still pursue the pain



I want to help you

you flee from the truth



what's it gonna take

to offer you the proof?



take me as I am

I'll take you far away



learn to live alone

but love an other day



your cage was lined with silk and gold

so the outside world looks dark and cold



dying sparrow I feel your pain

but with this kiss there's nothing to gain



as you dream in the cold dark night

know comfort in the morning light
