Lyrics

My Life As a Pigeon

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.

This is how I'm spending six AM

Scraping ice off a windshield, freezing

I'm late to work again

Another double shift

I'm gonna pull my weight in this world cause it's all I have

I'm on to something

I can feel it

It's like you're drawing battles lines in your head

For a war that doesn't exist

And I don't want to fight in

It's not worth it

If you want me to go then I'll go

And if you ask me to leave I can leave

But I won't be afraid of making mistakes if you're listening

Are you listening

I can't get my footing steadied in all of this

I'm always ducking swings or looking over my shoulder

When I should be making progress

This is the shit that they don't teach you how to deal with

Like an army of self-righteous kids that only like the 7 inch

I'm putting miles between myself and this bullshit

If you want me to go then I'll go

And if you ask me to leave I can leave

But I won't be afraid of making mistakes if you're listening

Are you listening

If you want me to go then I'll go

And if you ask me to leave I can leave

But I won't be afraid of making mistakes if you're listening

Are you listening

Cause I'm listening

I guess this is what it's like

The life of a pigeon

I know we're hard-pressed to find some common ground

But I won't let this world wipe me out

If you want me to go then I'll go

And if you ask me to leave I can leave

But I won't be afraid of making mistakes if you're listening

Are you listening

If you want me to go then I'll go

And if you ask me to leave I can leave

But I won't be afraid of making mistakes if you're listening

Are you listening
