Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can count on my friends
Like I count all my debts
On the middle finger of my right hand
Where all my promises are kept
I'm a bird on a swing
Safe from every midnight owl
I don't care to stretch my wings
And I don't need you anyhow
[Verse 2]
I've rode on the darkest range
I've worked a thousand graveyard hours
I have no blood left in my veins
I gave it all up to the empire
Like a bird on a swing
With a nest fit for a king
And a mirror for me to ponder
The way that time breaks everything
[Chorus]
No one can corrupt what they can't get inside
No one's gonna hurt what they can't find
You may break your heart, but you'll still be alive
I'll never have to feel what that is like
[Outro]
I'm a lonely, bitter soul
I've got sadness in my skull
And I am only kind to strangers
They're the only people I don't know
Like a bird on a swing
In a temple where I may sing
Songs so lonely and forgotten
That's the cost of being free
