The Cage

Trapped inside the cage All that you'll see you'll soon forget These bitter words of pain and rage yours to keep as you come of age Every second passing in our lives Seals the door a little tighter Walls that keep us trapped inside are barriers within our own minds Locked down hard for none to see Prisoners of our own misery Try to be yourself and see what you get Don't try to question or step out of line You might think something you'll live to regret Unthinkable thoughts, they'll haunt you You'll never forget Trapped inside the cage All that you see you soon forget And so we let the cycle flow Thinking there's nothing to know Wandering, wakeful time ticks fast See your future become your past Strung out on fear of what becomes of a mind on fire with a severed tongue Days spent questioning life's worth Turned the gift of life back into a curse So let crows peck at my heart May they erase the memory of today You'll never forget All that you see, you'll soon forget The cage All that you see soon forget And so we let the cycle flow Thinking there's nothing more to know
