CAGED

I just want to be free.

Caged like an animal.

Imprisoned by these walls.

There must be a way out.

I just want to be free.

 

Through the window I wonder

What the outside world is like

But I am scared to face it.

I stay out of the light.

I just want to be free.

 

So much guilt weighing me down.

Skulls of hurt and rejection all around

So many questions remain unanswered.

Leaving me as a lonely Bastard

I just want to be free.

 

Dreams shattered in 1000 pieces.

The wishing well has run dry.

Hope disappeared many years ago.

I have nothing left to show.

I just want to be free.

 

No point talking anymore no one's listening.

Body too old and broken to walk.

Address and phone book remains completely empty.

But all the Demons remain aplenty.

I just want to be free.

 

Head full of bad memories!

A real life past you wish you never had.

I failure in every direction and expectation

Eternally waiting for my salvation

I just want to be free.

 

All my failures piled floor to ceiling.

Anything worthwhile has since been long forgotten.

Left behind by my family and abandoned.

I just want to be free.

 

I am chained by my own demons.

Controlled by the constant voices.

Restricted by the limited choices.

All I want is to be free.

Maybe I will never be free.
