Open Cage

I see someone else staring back

Soft light, eyes lost, ungrounded

I believe I'm not really chained

I'm laying in an open cage instead — afraid

To fly away, to feel any kind of pain

I must restrain my thoughts and views

They become thick walls, cold and blinding

I am left, forgotten behind

I will stand when the tides run high

And when I fall I'll tear it all apart

Time is nothing but a fear

Yet it takes over everything

The words I was being held back by

Are suddenly looking so insignificant

I will stand when the tides run high

I will walk through the shattered glass

I will stay when my strings untie

And when I fall I'll tear it all apart

Win a battle but lose the war

Relentless dreaming from afar

Win a battle but lose the war

How much longer are you gonna cover up your scars?
