Miner’s Canary lyrics

I will sing to keep the peace Down below in the cage you built for me A cave of echoes A miner's canary You were older, you knew the way To keep me breathing even though the air was thin There was no oxygen A miner's canary Lead me, slowly I am your detective A living warning sign Kill me slowly As I keep you company I'll be keeping time A sentinel so sensitive You have to lose me just to feel the state you're in You're bound to darkness A miner's canary Lead me, slowly I am your detective A living warning sign Kill me slowly As I keep you company I'll be keeping time
