Canary Yellow

Hey you, CANARY YELLOW
You are the brightness and the shine
Tunnel vision tunnel living
Gave my spark to the darkness inside

Cut from Maker's Hem
Cut with strong lines in the image of G-d
Protected image. In it I am defined
Built for heaven I will climb climb climb

I did my best to play the part
Constructed a persona to protect my pink heart
So tired of always pretending
But there's no mercy for those falling apart

Speak up, CANARY YELLOW
The other voices are at it again
'Chin up, pull yourself together
There was a time when men were men'

Beauty adorns your feathers
An indicator of your mysticality
As you sing the virtues of freedom
I worship the strong consistency of captivity

Built myself a cage called it masculine
Free from emotion and free from whim
I built this cage I am a man
I built this cage with my own hands

I am a man
I am a man
I am a man

In tears I knelt
At the location of your ascension
Drew a triangle on the ground
The symbology of perfection

In the distance I heard that sound
The sound of machine guns firing
Of fighters fighting
Of warriors waring
Of heroes dying
The soothing sound of none surviving
None surviving

So i took the key
And I locked myself back in again

I know you carry truth that you dare not speak
The RIGHT is coming
Hide everyone that you love
Hide everyone that you love
Hide everyone

Hey you, CANARY YELLOW
You were the song and the movement
When I speak, I spit stutter and slur
You took the words right out of my throat

Hey there, CANARY YELLOW
The light at the end seems fading
Where did you go
Where did you go
Where did you go
Where did you go
and what am I?
