Text: Death Cab For Cutie. Talking Bird (Demo).

Oh my talking bird
Though you know so few words
You're on infinite repeat
And you're brain can't keep up with your beak

And you're kept in an open cage
So you're free to leave or stay
And sometimes this makes you confused
But there's no hint that I'm trying to give you

The longer you think the less you know what to do

It's hard to see your way out
When you live in a house in a house
'Cause you don't realize
That the windows were open the whole time
But oh, my talking bird
Though your feathers are tattered and curved
I'll love you all your days
Til the breath leaves your fragile frame

It's all here for you as long as you choose to stay

Hey

It's all here for you as long as you don't fly away
