Golden Cage, Broken Bars

[Verse]
Born in silk, but it choked my breath,
Gold-plated chains dragged me close to death.
Family crest carved on my chest,
But my soul ain't a pawn for their game of chess.
Puppets in suits, pulling the strings,
Told me my future was diamond rings.
But the glint of wealth only blinds, it stings—
Freedom's a bird, not a crown that clings.
[Prechorus]
They built me a tower, I built me a door,
Their empire's a prison, I needed much more.
[Chorus]
Golden cage, I smashed those bars,
Made my escape, now I reach for stars.
Not their plans, not their throne,
I carved a kingdom all my own.
Golden cage, I smashed those bars,
Now I shine brighter than their cars.
[Verse 2]
Boardrooms buzzing with hollow applause,
Suits with smiles hiding all their claws.
They sold me dreams wrapped in velvet laws,
But I tore that script, found my own cause.
Midnight escapes, neon streets,
Heart pounding loud to the city beats.
No more whispers of forced defeats,
I write my truth; it repeats, repeats.
[Bridge]
Tossed their rules, their crowns, their keys,
Breathed in the air of the untamed seas.
Their world’s a palace, but mine’s the breeze,
I’ll never kneel; I’m the king of me.
[Chorus]
Golden cage, I smashed those bars,
Made my escape, now I reach for stars.
Not their plans, not their throne,
I carved a kingdom all my own.
Golden cage, I smashed those bars,
Now I shine brighter than their cars.
