black dust canary

black dust canary
rather be a mourning dove
she'd love to be a pheonix
oh just to break the cage
shes just a bird in a coalmine
thats all she is good for.

she got burned too many times
and volunteered
to be a warning bell
a warning bell
but no one listens to the black dust canary song
they call her a black bird
not even a mocking bird

the only song she's good for
is the shortest swan song
and this black dust canary
she will sing no more.
she will fly no more.
