Have Heart - On the Bird in the Cage (with lyrics)

Have Heart's "On That Bird in the Cage" off of "Songs to Scream at the Sun"

Lyrics:

My girl, my girl, tell me why you look so sad...
Has the sun finally set on us?
Have you come to long for another's hand?
There's just a feeling inside me that something's leaving,
Like someone stealing salt from sea,
Left me sinking and left me thinking
How to keep you caged with me
Because I need you like air to breathe
Just to hold you,
O' I hold you O' how I hold you, I hold you down.
Down with my insecurities,
Down with my hypocrisy,
Down with my pathetic pleas,
Down instead of setting you free
To find your happiness with or without me.
So untie your feet, reattach your wings,
So you don't have to open your throat to sing
Because it's you I love, then from you... I'd walk away.
And your face: On every leaf, of every branch of every tree.

@longliveavalon This sir, is the best melodic hardcore band that EVER existed. Every album, every song, every phrase has more meaning than a lot of heartless bands out there.

[longliveavalon]

Not bad but is it kind of emoish?? screamo? I hate that shit....Lionheart great song though....hope to get more into these guys.

"CAUSE I FUCKIN NEED YOU LIKE AIR TO FUCKIN BREATHE"

@jabop Have Heart didn't die. Even if the band broke up, their music stays. 

[FaLLeNReApEr13]

One of my all time favorites.

[HousingThePlagued]

There aren't enough men like Patrick Flynn. How often do you see the exact opposite of this song in a xtuffxguyx hardcore band's lyrics?

[MrMaxGonchar]

Fucking eeaaaaa
