Heavy hands and heavy hearts

You are a bird with freshly feathered wings
All I have to offer is steel cage words
So you say you can’t give into me, you can’t bow to my demands
I cannot hold you, no matter how cavernous my hands
If I cannot give you the wind, I cannot give you anything
You told me I was the one supposed to leave and wonder what happened
Is there too much red clay on the soles of my shoes
What is it weighing me down?
You think I’m asking you for everything but all I want from you is a song
