Bird Cage

  1. //Intro 0:00//
  2.  
  3. I just feel like I'm lost, man, like I got no escape
  4. Banging on the walls, it's kinda like I'm in a bird cage
  5. Do you know what I mean, man?
  6. *Yeah, I know what you mean, man.
  7. But I think... I think you just need to grow up, man*
  8. What?
  9. *You know what I'm talking about man*
  10. No, I don't, what do you mean? You're my best friend, man,
  11. Why would you say that? Huh?
  12. *You're making this all about you*
  13. Well, it's my problem, right? I'm allowed to have my own problems, right?
  14. *Yeah okay man, well you know
  15. no one's listening, right?*
  16.  
  17. //Verse 1 0:29//
  18.  
  19. Trapped in a bird cage,
  20. Bangin' on the bars, not the lyric kind, no escape
  21. My mouth's got tape, no one can relate, cause I've been played
  22. You know, I've never prayed, never been afraid quite like this
  23. They're relentless, I try to live my life, they're devilish
  24. I wanna feel my bliss
  25.  
  26. //Verse 2 0:44//
  27.  
  28. Yeah, I can't feel my legs,
  29. They feel like jelly when I live back regrets,
  30. Lookin through the glass like I'm looking through a mirror,
  31. Hear the whisper, my inner figure
  32. Tellin' me bitter lies
  33. All the time, every time
  34. I get some hope,
  35. Your fault, not your fault
  36. I'm bored of being ignored
  37. With little reward
  38. I've been floored, might just resort
  39.  
  40. //Chorus 0:58//
  41.  
  42. To my old ways, the good ol' days,
  43. Living in a haze, hop back in the bird cage
  44. It's an outrage, a teenage rampage
  45. Wish it was staged, man
  46. All for a show, man
  47. Began to breathe heavy, they say it was God's Plan?
  48. That's not for me, man
  49. That's not for...
  50.  
  51. //Verse 3 1:14//
  52.  
  53. All these thoughts in the hall of my brain,
  54. How the fuck am I meant to contain
  55. My screams of vain, my screams of pain,
  56. My thoughts tellin' me to run insane
  57. In the lane of a train?
  58. Can't refrain
  59. These thoughts of suicide, no upside in sight,
  60. Been a wild ride, not satisfied
  61. No, I will never feel pride 'till I've died
  62.  
  63. //Verse 4 1:28//
  64.  
  65. Their evil words, like bastard birds
  66. They're all cowards, mind backwards, low standards
  67. Their evil lurks, like lasting words,
  68. THEY HURT, IT'S ABSURD, MY LAST DITCH EFFORT
  69. MY VISION IS BLURRED, I'LL NEVER BE HEARD,
  70. MY DREAMS SHATTERED, MY WALLS PLASTERED
  71. THE VOICE IS BACK, MY MANIAC
  72. "Low life scum" ALL HIS FEEDBACK
  73. IT STACKS, negativity attack
  74. The click and clack in my brain again,
  75. They're talking smack, I'm going slack on the track,
  76. No comeback, drag my feet, heavyweight backpack
  77. They say 'Don't brag, you fag'
  78. If it's like that, is it like that?
  79. If it's like that, if it's like that,
  80. Is it like that? Is it like that?
  81. Maybe I'll just go back
  82.  
  83. //Chorus 1:58//
  84.  
  85. To my old ways, all I see is a daze,
  86. All I need is a phrase, all I need is some praise,
  87. Trace the maze inside my brain, I can't explain,
  88. Not a single strain to get me out? This is insane!
  89. I can't believe this!
  90. I know it's bogus
  91. Why can't I focus!
  92. I need some pills...
  93.  
  94. //Hook 2:13//
  95.  
  96. So, what you got for me?
  97. *Well, that's a very sad story
  98. Take some of these, and maybe some of those
  99. In your case, twice a day, I suppose*
  100. Thanks man, how much do I owe you?
  101. *Eh, screw it dude, just take a few,
  102. Test 'em out, they're fairly new*
  103. Really man? Thanks man! That's so cool of you!
  104.  
  105. //Verse 5 2:27//
  106.  
  107. Losing motivation, taking so much damn medication,
  108. Waitin' on a chance to let loose all my pent up frustration,
  109. My imagination runs wild, like a young, kind, mind your child
  110. He's survived so far, don't leave him behind to be
  111. Six feet underground, so sad, but
  112. HAVE YOU LIVED IF YOU HAVEN'T SMILED?
  113. They remind me that I'm blind with the pain,
  114. To find an escape, define a bird cage,
  115. "I'm fine, trust me guys, I'm sane! I'm fine, it's only 'cause, it's only"
  116. Cause I can't contain the pain again, I can't control the agony
  117. Have to remain in my own lane again, 'cause my middle name is insanity!
  118. Insanity, insanity, insanity, insanity
  119. Insanity, insanity, my maiden name's insanity!
  120. My mother's name is insanity!
  121. My father's name is insanity!
  122. My sister's name is insanity!
  123. My brother's name is insanity!
  124.  
  125. //Outro 3:11//
  126.  
  127. The bird cage is my home, there's no escaping the grasp
  128. But I learn very fast and with a lil help from my past,
  129. I'm the star of my own show, I'm cast, the pain is vast,
  130. I'm an outcast, I can't grasp this task,
  131. Any breath could be my last, cause I'm
  132. Insane in the brain from a bird cage
  133. You straight up can't relate, mate
  134. Insane in the brain from a bird cage
  135. Take the bait, wait to eat the grape
  136. Insane in the brain from a bird cage
  137. Insane in the brain but I have no motherfucking way
  138. To escape my fate
