Lyrics
Jailbirds
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The sun is rising so late, it's early
I have spread myself too thin again
To catch the bottom, make my guilty party
Made in the solitude of comfortable friends
Father make believe for your daughters
Mother take it easy on your sons
Its just a balance like a tightrope walker
But for now you've got to keep them young
My solitude it makes me softer
My suffering is not in vain
My depression seems how much longer
Will I have to wait to see you were free from pain
