lyrics

I remember the first story I wrote
And it read so terribly that it didn't flow
I couldn't show anyone, couldn't dare call it art
So I kept it close to my heart

It became the only thing I knew
How to do, The only thing I could construe
Now that I think about it, I guess that's how it all starts
I kept it close to my heart

Fly away, you songbird
Now you're free
Show it off, every word
You're the only one who matters to me

I remember the first time you told me
It was the first time anyone had liked my story
It started as an accident, but you didn't tear me apart
So I opened up my heart

The way you read them was all wrong
Even so, you smiled and kept singing your song
The others give us looks, they cast us out for who we are
I open up my heart

Sing to me, you songbird
Our own melody
So they say, so they infer
But what has that got to do with you and me?

They can laugh all day and mock us for not heeding to their story
What has that got to do with you and me?

We can talk all day and write, we'll create our own story
That's the only thing that matters to me

“...소위 팝컬쳐라 불리는 게 있다. 예술이라 하기엔 좀 그렇긴 한데 하여튼 사람의 마음을 뒤흔드는 점에 간해서는 어정쩡한 파인 아트보다 힘이 세기도 하는 놈이다.” - 카도노 코우헤이, '부기팝' 작가
