Page 169 of Debts and Desires

---

All I wanted was the chance to make my dreams come true.

Out of one cage to another, nothing left after you.

Chorus

Every sip I took of you, I’ll never forget your name.

Eyes like a wildfire burning untamed.

Brave knight, sly wolf, what’s your price for help?

Protect me from everyone, but never from yourself.

Plucked and left to die, like a wilted yellow flower.

Little bird there’s no escape, tally up your hours.

What good is an hourglass if its broken and without sand?

Sinner, you hold my debts and desires in your hands.

Verse 2

Your love was both a poison and a bitter remedy.

Slipping from your grasp, a stranger’s all you’ll be.

Buried in your promises, I can’t break your hold.

You’ve hollowed out my chest, took away my hope.

Your heart’s as black as black can be, where love once thrived.

Now there’s nothing but chaos consuming you and I.

Slowly changing, slowly taking, drown the memories.

Negotiate until there is no chance I will be free.

Bridge

Brave knight, sly wolf, eyes like whiskey fire.

A debt that’s still unpaid, an object of desire.

Ending

What good is an hourglass if it’s broken and without sand?

Sinner, you hold my debts and desires in your hands.

I would’ve stayed forever, but you robbed me of that choice.

Caged bird, she got her wings, but you took away her voice.

70. YOU MADE IT, LITTLE BIRD
