lyrics

Before it all went black and white
And I was loud and full of fight
Canary in the coal mine
Canary in the coal mine

But we are such small animals
Our wrists and knees are vulnerable
Canary in the coal mine
Canary in the coal mine

She was made of carbon
I was made of glass
We locked ourselves in the bathroom
We pulled it out and laughed
We were still laughing
When that story changed
He was taking he was taking

We’d watch the darkness fall and try
To push our toes into the sky
And I could not get any higher
I could not get any higher

Later we’d separate by force
As soon as you’d get home of course
You’d call me on the tin can telephone
Won’t make it through the night alone

Chorus

But we are such small animals
Our cries for help are inaudible
Canary in the coal mine
Canary in the coal mine

Chorus
