The Cost

There was a bird that lived
in a busy yellow house
That bird was grey and
all he talked about
One day he dressed
the bird in a red coat
The bird, he gleamed, he felt he'd rule the world

Higher than the sky now
You can't see me cry now
Trying to be happy
With what I have become
Look around the bend now
You can't see me pretend now
Trying to make you happy
No matter what the cost

The bird, he loved the boy
But was told to want much more
The world outside called his name
So he flew right out the door
He flew, he soared
He marvelled in his coat
The bird, he gleamed
He felt he'd rule the world

Flying higher than the sky now
You can't see me cry now
Trying to be happy
With what I have become
Look around the bend now
You can't see me pretend now
Trying to make you happy
No matter what the cost

But when the boy returned
The bird wad not in sight
He called its name
As he choked up inside
He found the bird
Lying with a phone upon the ground
Filled with memories of that coat
The coat that made him drown

Flying higher than the sky now
You can't see me cry now
Trying to be happy
With what I have become
Look around the bend now
You can't see me pretend now
Trying to make you happy
No matter what the cost
