Bird Cage

 

I just feel like I'm lost, man, like I got no escape

Banging on the walls, it's kinda like I'm in a bird cage

Do you know what I mean, man?

*Yeah, I know what you mean, man.

But I think... I think you just need to grow up, man*

What?

*You know what I'm talking about man*

No, I don't, what do you mean? You're my best friend, man,

Why would you say that? Huh?

*You're making this all about you*

Well, it's my problem, right? I'm allowed to have my own problems, right?

*Yeah okay man, well you know

no-one's listening, right?*

 

 

Trapped in a bird cage,

Bangin' on the bars, not the lyric kind, no escape

My mouth's got tape, no-one can relate, cause I've been played

You know, I've never prayed, never been afraid quite like this

They're relentless, I try to live my life, they're devilish

I wanna feel my bliss

 

 

Yeah, I can't feel my legs,

They feel like jelly when I live back regrets,

Lookin through the glass like I'm looking through a mirror,

Hear the whisper, my inner figure

Tellin' me bitter lies

All the time, every time

I get some hope,

Your fault, not your fault

I'm bored of being ignored

With little reward

I've been floored, might just resort

 

 

To my old ways, the good ol' days,

Living in a haze, hop back in the bird cage

It's an outrage, a teenage rampage

Wish it was staged, man

All for a show, man

Began to breathe heavy, they say it was God's Plan?

That's not for me, man

That's not for...

 

 

All these thoughts in the hall of my brain,

How the fuck am I meant to contain

My screams of vain, my screams of pain,

My thoughts tellin' me to run insane

In the lane of a train?

Can't refrain

These thoughts of suicide, no upside in sight,

Been a wild ride, not satisfied

No, I will never feel pride 'till I've died

 

 

Their evil words, like bastard birds

They're all cowards, mind backwards, low standards

Their evil lurks, like lasting words,

THEY HURT, IT'S ABSURD, MY LAST DITCH EFFORT

MY VISION IS BLURRED, I'LL NEVER BE HEARD,

MY DREAMS SHATTERED, MY WALLS PLASTERED

THE VOICE IS BACK, MY MANIAC

"Low life scum" ALL HIS FEEDBACK

IT STACKS, negativity attack

The click and clack in my brain again,

They're talking smack, I'm going slack on the track,

No comeback, drag my feet, heavyweight backpack

They say 'Don't brag, you fag'

If it's like that, is it like that?

If it's like that, if it's like that,

Is it like that? Is it like that?

Maybe I'll just go back

 

 

To my old ways, all I see is a daze,

All I need is a phrase, all I need is some praise,

Trace the maze inside my brain, I can't explain,

Not a single strain to get me out? This is insane!

I can't believe this!

I know it's bogus

Why can't I focus!

I need some pills...

 

 

So, what you got for me?

*Well, that's a very sad story

Take some of these, and maybe some of those

In your case, twice a day, I suppose*

Thanks man, how much do I owe you?

*Eh, screw it dude, just take a few,

Test 'em out, they're fairly new*

Really man? Thanks man! That's so cool of you!

 

 

Losing motivation, taking so much damn medication,

Waitin' on a chance to let loose all my pent up frustration,

My imagination runs wild, like a young, kind, mind your child

He's survived so far, don't leave him behind to be

Six feet underground, so sad, but

HAVE YOU LIVED IF YOU HAVEN'T SMILED?

They remind me that I'm blind with the pain,

To find an escape, define a bird cage,

"I'm fine, trust me guys, I'm sane! I'm fine, it's only 'cause, it's only"

Cause I can't contain the pain again, I can't control the agony

Have to remain in my own lane again, 'cause my middle name is insanity!

Insanity, insanity, insanity, insanity

Insanity, insanity, my maiden name's insanity!

My mother's name is insanity!

My father's name is insanity!

My sister's name is insanity!

My brother's name is insanity!

 

 

The bird cage is my home, there's no escaping the grasp

But I learn very fast and with a lil help from my past,

I'm the star of my own show, I'm cast, the pain is vast,

I'm an outcast, I can't grasp this task,

Any breath could be my last, cause I'm

Insane in the brain from a bird cage

You straight up can't relate, mate

Insane in the brain from a bird cage

Take the bait, wait to eat the grape

Insane in the brain from a bird cage

Insane in the brain but I have no motherfucking way

To escape my fate
