mockingbird

Flickering friendships
And darkened daydreams
Counting to ten to
Tune out all their screams
Starting a fire mistakenly
Watching your friends
Pour the kerosene

Take me as I am
I'm a human being, being
You don't understand
Cause it's not you who's
Bleeding, bleeding

I'm a mockingbird
Wings in the water
Sharks at every turn
God, I never learn
How can I escape?
Wings dripping in pain
You think I'm insane
Honey, you're the same
Mockingbird
Mockingbird, I'm a mockingbird

Hush little baby
You're too loud
Kinda want you to shut
Your mouth
I could never make a sound
When you always drown me out

Do you ever have regrets?
Do you wake up from your rest
Out of breath and anxious?
Cardiac arrest?
Do you ever have nightmares?
Do you ever give blank stares?
Now put your hands in the air
I ain't gonna hurt you, I swear

Take me as I am
I'm a human being, being
You don't understand
Cause it's not you who's
Bleeding, bleeding

I'm a mockingbird
Wings in the water
Sharks at every turn
God, I never learn
How can I escape?
Wings dripping in pain
You think I'm insane
Honey, you're the same
Mockingbird
Mockingbird, I'm a mockingbird

Babe, your time has come
Better take the run
You're the ugly duck
You're parents screwed up
What a waste of space
What a crying drain
You think I'm insane
I know you're the same
I'm a mockingbird, I'm a mockingbird
Mockingbird
