Escape the Cage

Run, run, away from this cage,

Lost in the shadows, just a broken maze.

Chasing the echoes, footsteps in the night,

Thoughts screaming louder, it’s a desperate fight.

Fading to black, can't find my way home,

Only the silence, where the dark things roam.

Freedom’s a whisper, so cruelly denied,

Tangled in dreams where all hope has died.

Wandering 'round in this haunting mirage,

Trying to break free, but it’s all a barrage.

Run, run away, can’t bear the pain,

Chasing the sunlight, but it’s only rain.

Better off dead, or just staring at fate,

Wanna be free, but I stumble and wait.

Faces are fading, like smoke in the air,

No one to hold me, does anyone care?

Locked in this prison, of my own design,

Longing for freedom, but it’s hard to define.

Running and screaming, searching for rest,

Got scars on my soul, a heart that won't jest.

With every step forward, I’m pulled back in chains,

Each breath feels heavier, only sharpens the pain.

Run, run away, can’t bear the pain,

Chasing the sunlight, but it’s only rain.

Better off dead, or just staring at fate,

Wanna be free, but I stumble and wait.

But in the darkness, there's a flicker of light,

A whisper of courage, igniting the fight.

Maybe just maybe, there’s hope down the road,

A flicker of freedom can lighten the load.

So run, run away, but don't turn your back,

There’s strength in your heart when you follow the track.

Keep chasing that freedom, let the shadows fade,

You’re more than a ghost, you’re a life to be made.
