my life as a pigeon

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
