Escape the Cage

Caught in the grind, can't escape the line

Feel my heart fade, losing my name

Wake up at dawn, the world & wears me down

Same old streets, same relentless sound

Counting the hours, sinking in my chair

Dreams fade to gray, is anyone there?

I scream in silence, trapped in this cage

Fading away, is this my only way?

Break me out of this world tonight

Losing my mind in the flashing lights

Endless 9-5, I can't survive

Lost in the shadows, just trying to stay alive

Faces pass by, blurred in my mind

Chasing illusions, left behind

Heartbeat pounding, eyes full of fear

Yearning for a sign that hope is near

I scream in silence, trapped in this cage

Fading away, is this my only way?

Break me out of this world tonight

Losing my mind in the flashing lights

Endless 9-5, I can't survive

Lost in the shadows, just trying to stay alive

Screaming at the ceiling, fighting to breathe

Drowning in the repetition, don't believe

This can’t be life, this can’t be real

I need to feel something, just to heal

Trapped in this world, but I won't stay

Burning the chains that keep me at bay

One day I’ll break, I’ll find my way

Escape this nightmare, into a new day
