I gave my bird away Released it on a winter's day I hid the cage away In the darkest corner of my cave Drew circles in the snow Developed a strong vertigo I tried to forget But memories are like tattoos I carry them with me My body is a diary It might not show it right away But it remembers every day I write on paper not my skin Read my arm like poetry Scars cover memories They keep them safe, lock them away I carry them with me My body is a diary Read me like poetry My body is a diary I will gain peace of mind The day I let myself rewind Will read my diary Like poetry
