lyrics

I’ve always been such a good boy
I played it close to my chest
I never trusted a cuckoo bird to take care of my precious nest
Send him forth with the convoy
He’ll drive point the whole time
Scare the nesting instinct clean out of his small, precious, wandering mind
Release him; we’ll teach him
We promise we’ll reach him
Release him; release him.

How can you be such good boy?
You always have tried your best
You never lied to a single friend or made fun of the birds with no nests
Send him forth into thick woods,
Give him a compass and knife,
Watch him learn what it means to be alone and fear for his life
Release him; we’ll teach him
We promise we’ll reach him
Release him; release him.

There! Did you see that speck on the distant horizon?
Chase it! Breakneck speed, now
Why does the truth as it spawns from your own intuition
Need such sober logic?
Knock it! It’s toxic! You’re useless if you’re in boxes
Stop it! It’s awful to watch you crack and crumble
Knock it! It’s toxic! You’re thinking that you’ve lost it,
But you’re just a sinner with no warm bed for the winter

I never knew I could see things
As clearly as I do now
I couldn’t see around obstacles this dark until you showed me how
You sent me forth into thick woods
Man, I was scared for my life
But ten new rainbows of colors emerged from within my own twinkling eyes
You towered above me
As I learned to love me
You released me; now I’m free

Originating in late 2017 at SUNY Purchase, Queen Cabbage is a folky art rock band dedicated to synthesizing silliness, seriousness, life, death, the beautiful, and the grotesque into earnest, powerful, emotionally immediate music for eager feet to dance and stumble to, for thoughtful hearts to beat and break to, and—most importantly—for authority figures to disapprove of.
