Untidy Creature (Frayed Version)

I heard the click of a tiny catch

I closed my eyes and you found the latch

I looked up and saw the bars intact

Locked up tight, the perfect trap

I rattle and shake inside

But I can't escape tonight

There was a time when I saw it outside

Followed the air, turn left, turn right

Now with a move, you close the lock

The world outside, it's what I want

I rattle and shake inside

I push against your arms tonight

And it feels like we were broken

And I'm holding the pieces so tight

You can try to tell me I'm nothing

And I don't have the wings to fly

But there's too much here that's unspoken

And there's no tomorrow in sight

Could you love me if I was broken?

And there's no going back tonight

Looking at me like a problem to solve

Like an untidy creature that you can't push around

You built a cage, but your measurement's wrong

'Cause I'll find a way and I'll pick your lock

And it feels like we were broken

And I'm holding the pieces so tight

You can try to tell me I'm nothing

And I don't have the wings to fly

But there's too much here that's unspoken

And there's no tomorrow in sight

Could you love me if I was broken?

And there's no going back tonight
