Lyrics

I built this prison... with my own two hands
Polished the bars... to please the master's demands
The key was in my pocket... but I swallowed it whole
Traded my freedom... for a comfortable soul
The velvet curtains hide... the rust that's underneath
I smile for the crowd... while grinding my teeth
I feel the walls they're closing in, the air is getting thin
I hear the lock click shut again and I remember when
Yeah, I'm breaking out the gilded cage tonight
No more living in a frame that's painted pretty, but ain't right
Every bar I bent is a lesson that I learned
Every piece of me they took is a piece I've now returned
This ain't a jailbreak, this is a homecoming war
I'm kicking down the door, I'm not a pet anymore
So watch me shatter the veneer, watch me tear the veil
This bird is flying, and I'm leaving a trail
The gilded paint... is peeling from the heat
Of a fire I've been stoking... beneath my own two feet
The master called my name... I didn't turn around
The only crown I'm wearing... is made of solid ground
I hear the others whisper... from their own little cells
But I've stopped believing... in their fairytales and spells
I leave the key inside the lock, for anyone who dares
To realize the prison was a palace of their cares
Yeah, I'm breaking out the gilded cage tonight
No more living in a frame that's painted pretty, but ain't right
Every bar I bent is a lesson that I learned
Every piece of me they took is a piece I've now returned
This ain't a jailbreak, this is a homecoming war
I'm kicking down the door, I'm not a pet anymore
So watch me shatter the veneer, watch me tear the veil
This bird is flying, and I'm leaving a trail
The cage is empty now... and I am gone
