Canary in a coal mine
An early warning sign
I ignore
I bury my head in the sand
It’s reflexive

Messenger pigeon
A story told in time
I compose
Myself in chords and rhymes
It’s reflexive

Sentinel chicken
A necessary sacrifice
I endure
Cause nobody else has lived my life before

You dare clip my wings
Lucky me
I can do more than fly

I'll crawl, I'll crawl, I'll crawl
Till my knees bleed
I'll crawl to the finish line

You dare clip my wings
Lucky me
I can do more than fly

I'll crawl, I'll crawl, I'll crawl
To the finish line
