(Verse 1)
After prayer, I bow my head, mind in deep thought,
Body in this world, but my soul travels far.
I hear whispers of the devil, angels in battle,
Heart half-dead, only a soul left in debt.
Dark road, lights off, the path growing dim,
Faint light, like a candle blown out in the wind.
Slow steps, my mind weary from the debate,
I’m an actor in the script of this world, forgetting my role.
(Pre-Chorus)
The chains of burden are tied to my mind,
I scream, but silence surrounds me.
Colors fade, only monochrome,
Like a nightmare that’s become the norm.
(Chorus)
Trapped inside this iron cage,
I’m free, but still locked inside.
The winding road, I search for meaning,
But everything is unclear, all just illusions.
(Verse 2)
I wake up, mask on, it’s a must,
Plastic smile, soul cracked, not connecting.
This world is a canvas, but the colors have faded,
Eyes paint sins, I become the smudger.
Faith as thin as a thread, sometimes close to breaking,
Long prayers, but still, I feel lost.
I’m not a puppet, yet life keeps repeating,
Fate’s play, I’m a puppet that’s been tossed around.
(Pre-Chorus)
The chains of burden are tied to my mind,
I scream, but silence surrounds me.
Colors fade, only monochrome,
Like a nightmare that’s become the norm.
(Chorus)
Trapped inside this iron cage,
I’m free, but still locked inside.
The winding road, I search for meaning,
But everything is unclear, all just illusions.
(Bridge)
If I could turn back, I would retreat,
Back to the time before my heart was torn.
But this wound holds a hidden meaning,
Maybe this is God’s way of teaching me.
So I rise, the first step,
Slowly, but as long as I’m still alive.
(Chorus)
Trapped inside this iron cage,
I’m free, but still locked inside.
The winding road, I search for meaning,
But everything is unclear, all just illusions.
(Outro)
I sit again, thinking of meaning,
In the dark, I try to stand.
Though this world continues to hurt,
I fight until the end...
