// Cages //

 
  
I’ve been trapped in, and I’ve been kept quiet
 
Just ignored the suffering, and I just kept silent
 
Ripped my heart off my sleeve ’cause I felt it dying
 
You almost had me thinking there was nothing more
 
Until I saw the bigger picture and the open doors
 
Maybe you had all the locks, but I had every key
 
 
My life is more than these rooms and walls
 
And it’s bigger than all these stages
 
A voice is calling out for me to leave what I’ve known
 
And go beyond the cages, beyond the cages
 
 
Don’t get me wrong
 
Sometimes it’s hard to see past the chaos and endless armies of walls
 
But they weren’t too tall for me to catch a glimpse of what was waiting there all along
 
So now I’m moving on despite the greatest efforts to try and make me trip and fall
 
Maybe you had all the locks, but I had every key
 
 
There’s something better for me, something more than the pain
 
I won’t live my life being locked up in chains
