Caged
Verse 1:
Days blur together
Punctuated by stabs of seeming meaningfulness
Illusory
I stand motionless while time drags its feet
A static pillar, rooted by my own inertia
I am a tepid waste of my own talents
A black hole siphon, a ceaseless Charybdis
Chorus 1:
Awake to waste another day, frozen
I can’t lift my face to the sun
Caged
Verse 2:
Gazing outward only breeds resentment
As the achievements of others fuel my self-loathing
The harshness of this existence
Is itself a joke
I am unacquainted with sacrifice
I am a false construction
A fragile collage, a sham colossus
Chorus 2:
Trapped by my resistance to the new
I’ve crippled my attempt at becoming
One who could forge my way, break the cage
Breakdown:
Raised to think I could conquer,
I instead learned to hide
Pretending I’m something,
I instead wait to die
Perched forever rejecting,
I instead fortify
