Cage of Shadows

Get away, just turn your back,

I’m done with all this pointless talk.

Life's a track that's gone off the rails,

In this silence, my heart wails.

Hiding in shadows, I play my role,

You judge me harsh while I lose control.

Each word a weapon, each glance a knife,

Why can’t you see, I just want my life?

You think you know my story, you think you understand,

But the truth lies deep within, it’s buried in the sand.

With every smile, I fake, with every hope I wind,

You push me to the edges, you blind me, so unkind.

Get the fuck away from me, this pain I’ve grown to wear,

I hate all of you faithfully, your freedom’s in the air.

This life was never meant for me, it’s a cage I can’t break free,

So please, just let it be, just let me be.

Echoes of laughter feel sharp as glass,

While I stumble down this road, I’m moving fast.

Caught in your web, you pull and you tease,

But I’m no puppet baby, it’s your dark heart that’s diseased.

I’ve seen the best and worst, and I’m tired of the fight,

You revel in the chaos, I’m searching for the light.

Each day a battle, each night a storm,

I crave to be a memory, a ghost to be reborn.

Get the fuck away from me, this pain I’ve grown to wear,

I hate all of you faithfully, your freedom’s in the air.

This life was never meant for me, it’s a cage I can’t break free,

So please, just let it be, just let me be.

Silence speaks louder than any fight,

I’ll gather my pieces; I’ll reclaim my night.

With every step, I’ll find my way,

This wreckage is mine, I won’t let you stay.

Get the fuck away from me, let me breathe my own air,

I am more than just a shadow, I’m a spark that’s rare.

This life was never meant for me, but I’ll rise and I’ll see,

This heart will break no more, it’s finally free.
