Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just because it glows
That doesn't mean everything's on show
No, riches don't make a happy home
No, riches don't compensate for soul
A diamond just a stone
She gives everything to something that don't
Mean anything, but that's all she knows
She'll never go back the way she came, came
[Verse 2]
Now, is this just, is this just
A prisoner without a cage?
[Verse 3]
Not a life she chose
But she follow the gold coated road
What she wanted, it couldn't be so
She started to lose her way
You didn't take communion after the sermon
You don't believe
There's a God above you
With His plan for you
So you sniffin' and drinkin', changin' who you are
Thing's that make you feel alive
There's something wrong with that
But I feel for you
[Verse 4]
Now, is this just, is this just
A prisoner without a cage?
Soul trapped in this light
You'll never make it out alive
You better give another try
Or you won't make it out alive
[Verse 5]
Caged bird singin' on tour
Just a amateur tryna mature
Grew up so fast that she never grew up
Gotta move somewhere new just, 'cause it's newer
Everyday it rain where she live
She say, you lettin' all the air out
TV's are for window's where she stare out
Extra hours at parties tryna find some jacket
She don't even care about, she ain't even wear it out
Build a nest on arms, breast so warm
You think of mother's bosom
She so green, you'd flip but probably shouldn't
I hope she catch her tail and her circles get smaller
Before the drill ain't a drill
And the wolf is for real
And the wolf is for real
[Verse 6]
Now, is this just, is this just
A prisoner without a cage?
Soul trapped in this light
You'll never make it out alive
You're gonna give another try
But you won't make it out alive
[Verse 7]
Silent and slowly
After all, she's lonely
She waits to die
A living waste of time
All this green, no blue skies
Her sunny days are cold as ice
Her frozen sun, she's trapped inside
Is it just, is it just
A prisoner without a cage?
