From a Cage - Haley Bonar

If I washed my clothes and I combed my hair

Would you look at me the same

All this time I believed I had lost control but this doesn’t have a name

If I split down the middle and I worked real hard could I learn

To shut you out

People told us we were crazy and maybe they were right

But that’s not what this is about

Cause they’ve never lived without it

Never needed it so bad

That they’d sell out their whole family

For a taste

Well she treated you so fancy

Before she treated you so mean

But she made a good companion either way

Sitting in the snow while we trace our tracks

But we can’t go back again

I’m not your mother and you’re not a child

Honey we weren’t even friends

You were born into an ocean

I grew up in a swimming pool

Underneath the band aid colored pain

I had barely learned to hold you

I had barely spoke your name

When I began to love you without shame

But I’ll learn to live without it

Never loved it any way

And I’ll ride my plastic pony to the sun

Well they’re closing down the party

And they’re bringing heavy chains

But we’ll learn to love our freedom
