Cage
They locked me in a cage
A cage of nothing to say
I couldn't say a thing, my vision not clear as day
Call me what you like, if you may
As I rot away in this rusty cage
A cage where I can't say a thing
Where the scent of sweat still lingers
It clings to me like a second skin
Like a lover wanting to begin
Alas, I'm not sure if I need it
All I have to do is be in this cage
A cage of the ugliness in the world
Where it can't be put into one word
I needed my heart stabbed with a sword
Yet you refused, kept putting me in the cruel hands of love
I can't stay, my wings are those of broken doves
