A Modern Synthesis - Little Birds

Nowadays when I open my mouth
Little birds fly out from between my teeth
And I can no longer hold them back
Between every fragile word that I speak
When did you lose that fire
That once burnt bright inside of you?
An exposed and unwilling participant (A simple kind of man)
My cover's finally been blown (Four walls are closing in)
Featherless wings flap, and collapse finally feels imminent
Now these thoughts are not my own
Try to embrace this chance to re-renovate this empty space
And reform a renewed sense of self
Now I remember when I lost that fire
My passion, my pride, my energy
But do you still think that you can change the world?
For me, it feels so out of reach
I'm out of reach
Out of reach
Out of reach
Out of reach
Out of reach
Reflect on those days when
When we were young and could compete
But those days are long gone now
We're out of reach
