Canaries
Cuffed Up
He’s carrying the weight of stones
And he keeps going with pins to his bones
The canaries fainted a while ago
But still down, down to the den he goes
He said yes, but he wants to say no
He said no, but he wants to say yes
Afraid to say what’s on his chest
Oh, it’s shame again
It’s never been addressed
The nature of the beast
You choose to say the least
The truth is heavier than lies
Open that chest love, it’s for the best love
Don’t settle down, don’t compromise
She’s carrying the weight of stones
And she keeps going with pins to her bones
The canaries fainted a while ago
But still down, down to the den she goes
She said yes, but she wants to say no
She said no, but she wants to say yes
Afraid to say what’s on her chest
Oh, it’s shame again
It’s never been addressed
The nature of the beast
You choose to say the least
The truth is heavier than lies
Open that chest love, it’s for the best love
Don’t settle down, don’t compromise
