Canaries Lyrics by Cuffed Up

Asymmetry

2021

[Verse 1]
He's carrying the weight of stones
And he keeps going with pins to his bones
The canaries fainted a while ago
But still down, down to the den he goes

[Pre-Chorus]
He said yes, but he wants to say no
He said no, but he wants to say yes
Only wanna say what's on his chest
Oh, it's shame again, it's never been addressed

[Chorus]
The nature of the beast
You choose to say the least
The truth is heavier than lies
Open that chest, love, it's for the best, love
Don't you settle down, don't compromise

[Verse 2]
She's carrying the weight of stones
And she keeps going with pins to her bones
The canaries fainted a while ago
But still down down to the den she goes

[Pre-Chorus]
She said yes, but she wants to say no
She said no, but she wants to say yes
Only wanna say what's on her chest
Oh, it's shame again, it's never been addressed

[Chorus]
The nature of the beast
You choose to say the least
The truth is heavier than lies
Open that chest, love, it's for the best, love
Don't you settle down, don't compromise

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
The nature of the beast
You choose to say the least
The truth is heavier than lies
Open that chest, love, it's for the best, love
Don't you settle down, don't compromise
