I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

Beat demo

A Side of Paradise performing Out Of Time at Instaband west semifinal

Recorded and mixed by Aaron Dill

Out Of Time live

VERSE ONE
You dropped your guard when she came around, oh!      			
Never knew you could hear such a beautiful sound.				
A crescendo of perfect notes								
You never could hear the dissonance growing near.			

PRE-CHORUS 
Where will you go now that all you’ve had is all but lost? 			
What will you do when you’re left stranded in the dust?			

CHORUS 
Don’t live your life fighting for a chance. 				
Chasing after a dove thats lost in the wind.				
Keep pressing on, and keep your ear to the ground			
A new melody of life will resound.				 	

VERSE TWO
Two years later and handful of change,				
You thought the pieces all lay in place, ohh			
but a perfect life, makes a perfect cage.				
You never knew what went on behind those closed doors.	

ENDING.
Build up your tower to the sky.					
One day you’ll take the jump and fly from this place		
Look around at the battles you’ve fought				
Peace of mind comes in the second half of this plot.
