Y.E.H. - Broken Bird Lyrics

I saw a broken bird today crying at my door
Picked it up and mended wings but the bird can't fly no more
Sings with love and warms my ears but ya know I can't forget
The bird who sits and sings for me up and left her nest

I know you didn't want to go
Doesn't mean you shouldn't try
Maybe if you sang the truth
Then you'd be flying high
Goodbye

Sit and think of days I've spent without a song to hear
The hours pass I glare at glass wishing you'd appear
It's hard enough to have no noise to drown out all the hate
Now it's there and I'm aware that the song's just not the same
Broken bird know your place

We smoke because we're broken, we drink our pain away
Another toke cause I'm hoping but doubting they'll hear me pray
Are these really worth taking, are these really my friends
Cause it seems they all faking, when I take this pain ends
All the stress around me, all the shit above my head
My family wants the best for me, but I wish I was dead
Trapped on this path that I was given by these habits that I've made
Trying to leave the life I'm living, change direction any way
