'Empty Birdcage' Written and Tabbed by Noah Newcomb Capo on 2nd Mostly strum - DDDUD - switching chords on the last down. Youâre not deserving just standing there watching your friend burning it's alright they couldn't put up much of a fight, anyways, they still loved you until the end. It's sad that they've left the Birdcage And nothing's sadder than an Empty Birdcage there's nothing flimsier than a promise from the escapee I don't know, Maybe, they've changed it isn't all that strange the ones you held chose to meld into the background, and they refused to make a single sound lest they be found, and forced into the Empty Birdcage And you're not deserving, to watch these fields turning. It's alright you'll return them tonight An Empty Birdcage, is all you've left. They were never your friends they lied to live, biding time, to survive until they left the Birdcage. And nothing's sadder than the Empty Birdcage and nothing's flimsier than a promise from the escapee. I don't know, maybe, you've changed, able to rearrange the feeling, you'd been wishing the world to burn in the Empty Birdcage They loved you until the end.
