"My Lovesong"

I sing my lovesong at the break of day
as all the birds start to fly away
no doubt you'll hear me sing again
I fall back asleep and dream of when
   oh my day goes on
   in the mirror, there's no one
   you sense my quiet rage
   so I tell you to go away
Happy alone, holding my own
the ghosts have left my home
I'm breathing like a dead man
I live and die to do it again
   and my day goes on
   still not seeing anyone
   I kiss the walls of my cage
   holding a knife, so you'll stay away
Because I'm seeking a certain freedom
no you no me, just the sun
So I can sing my lovesong all day long
sing it out loud to everyone
