The Cage

Oh-oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, can't break free

Polished smiles and perfect lies, a picture painted bright
Golden walls and watchful eyes, dimming my inner light
They say it's love, they say it's care, a path already laid
But every step feels like a snare, a silent masquerade

Whispers in the gilded halls, echoing my name
But my spirit yearns beyond these walls, burning like a 
flame

In this golden cage, I'm bound, a silent, shimmering plea
Searching for a way to break ground, to finally just be me
Every glossy surface reflects a truth I can't deny
This perfect world, it disconnects, beneath a plastic sky

Through crystal panes, I see the world, a vibrant, distant 
hue
My own desires, tightly curled, what am I meant to do?
They built this dream, so clean and vast, a future 
pre-designed
But freedom's call, it holds me fast, leaving my soul 
behind

Heavy chains of expectation, a weight I cannot bear
Longing for a new sensation, breathing open air

In this golden cage, I'm bound, a silent, shimmering plea
Searching for a way to break ground, to finally just be me
Every glossy surface reflects a truth I can't deny
This perfect world, it disconnects, beneath a plastic sky

Maybe one day, the glass will crack, the bubbles start to 
fade
I'll find my own untrodden track, no longer unafraid

To chase the real, the raw, the true, beyond this perfect 
scene
To paint my life in shades anew, a vibrant, wilder green

release)]

In this golden cage, I'm bound, a silent, shimmering plea
Searching for a way to break ground, to finally just be me
Every glossy surface reflects a truth I can't deny
This perfect world, it disconnects, beneath a plastic sky

Oh-oh-oh, break these chains
Oh-oh-oh, find my way
