Caged
Why do I keep doing this to myself?
Crawl behind the bars that lie inside
Lock the door and throw away the key
Waiting for my phantoms to claim me

Everywhere I turn I see
Opposition of my dreams
A lone player on this stage
Trapped inside my mental cage

Tap into the fountain of my pain
Need an outlet to ground my rage
Stomach churns, images won't leave
What I see, nothing more than wishful fantasy

Now I turn to find you
Aren't standing where I need you
My voice just words spilled upon the page
Trapped inside my mental cage

Will anything ever make sense to me?
Why I live, why I die every day
Choking on the seeds of this dying dream
Strangling my will, I can't scream

No one seems to understand
No one wants to lend a hand
So I crawl up the mountainside
Alone, without a guide
Is it worth it all? Will I slip and fall?
I keep hanging on, but for how long?

As long as it takes

Chasing stars lost on the horizon
Stop the gnawing doubt from rising
Single-man war I wage
From inside my mental cage
Everywhere I turn I see
Opposition of my dreams
But they can all go to Hell
I'll break free from this mental cell
