Birdsthroat

Every now and then

I find some way to stay afloat

That in turn makes me feeble

And as silent as a ghost

I try to claw my brain for answers

But I get this mocking gloat

It says

You got yourself the body of a man

But you got a birds throat

The tide is ever rising

I can hear it with my stethoscope

I'm supposed to build a net

But I got barbed wire for rope

I been fishing with the blunt end of a rotten cantaloupe

And all the cat fish swear

With their last breath of air

That I got a birds throat

The helicopter flew low

To take off my head

But to my surprise I ducked in time and it hit the wall instead

And it said

"You got too much fight, better find yourself resigned to die before you lose control"

You gonna lose control

My friend I've lost control

have you seen my beak and my wings

and heard me sing in the morning?

I got that birds throat!
