[male
vocals] (
Soft,
melancholic
piano
melody)
Yeah.
Sometimes
the
words
you
speak
cut
deeper
than
the
silence.
You
call
me
a
chicken,
but
you
don't
see
the
eagle
trying
to
fly.
Listen.
I
remember
when
we
started,
we
were
building
on
a
dream
Now
the
table’
s
turned
and
nothing’
s
ever
what
it
seems
You
look
at
me
with
eyes
that
have
forgotten
how
to
care
Searching
for
a
ghost
in
every
corner,
everywhere
You
see
him
working
now,
you
see
the
money
in
his
hand
And
suddenly
my
heart
is
just
a
grain
of
desert
sand
You
spit
the
words
out
cold,
like
you’
re
throwing
out
the
trash
You
compared
me
to
a
chicken,
watched
my
spirit
turn
to
ash.
I
am
not
a
chicken,
I
am
not
a
bird
you
keep
in
a
cage
I’
m
the
man
who
loved
you
through
the
turning
of
the
page
I’
m
the
man
who
loved
you
through
the
turning
of
the
page
You’
re
running
to
another
while
you’
re
picking
at
my
skin
Counting
up
his
wages
while
you’
re
drowning
in
your
sin
But
I’
m
standing
in
the
shadows,
I
am
waiting
for
the
light
Even
if
you’
re
leaving
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
Was
it
something
that
I
lacked?
Was
I
ever
not
enough?
When
the
road
was
rocky
and
the
living
got
real
tough
I
stayed
right
by
your
side,
I
was
the
anchor
in
the
storm
While
you
kept
a
secret
fire
to
keep
your
spirit
warm
Now
you
throw
those
insults,
call
me
names
just
for
the
fun
While
you’
re
busy
chasing
shadows,
trying
to
outrun
the
sun
It’
s
the
infidelity
that
cuts
me
like
a
knife
How
you
traded
in
our
history,
how
you
threw
away
a
life.
I
am
not
a
chicken,
I
am
not
a
bird
you
keep
in
a
cage
I’
m
the
man
who
loved
you
through
the
turning
of
the
page
You’
re
running
to
another
while
you’
re
picking
at
my
skin
Counting
up
his
wages
while
you’
re
drowning
in
your
sin
But
I’
m
standing
in
the
shadows,
I
am
waiting
for
the
light
Even
if
you’
re
leaving
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
I
see
the
way
you
look
at
him,
the
way
you
speak
his
name
Like
you’
re
trying
to
hide
the
flicker
of
a
dying,
desperate
flame
I’
m
not
giving
up
on
me,
even
if
I’
m
losing
you
I’
ll
find
the
strength
to
heal
and
I
will
find
a
better
view
Let
him
have
the
money,
let
him
have
the
temporary
grace
I’
ll
be
moving
forward,
I’
ll
be
finding
my
own
place.
I
am
not
a
chicken,
I
am
not
a
bird
you
keep
in
a
cage
I’
m
the
man
who
loved
you
through
the
turning
of
the
page
You’
re
running
to
another
while
you’
re
picking
at
my
skin
Counting
up
his
wages
while
you’
re
drowning
in
your
sin
But
I’
m
standing
in
the
shadows,
I
am
waiting
for
the
light
Even
if
you’
re
leaving
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
Yeah,
you
called
me
a
chicken.
But
a
chicken
doesn't
know
how
to
carry
the
weight
of
a
broken
home.
I
do.
Things
will
get
better.
I’
m
still
here. (
Piano
