Toiling day and night you can feel the pain beneath my feet Joyfully sometimes but the continuous stares make my check beneath my feet. Wires surrounding me I didn't realize I was building myself a cage Hard to break open I didn't realise I would need a key for my cage. Brain washed into believing I had a job but deep down I was wasting away Even my youthfulness that I possessed had changed and the old face is staring my way. I can't turn back the hands of time as I sat down mending my cage Blood dripping down my wrist as I still realise I am stucked in a cage. A short letter to my younger self never belief everything you think Following the crowd made me believe I was building a future until I had nothing to think.

Stucked in a cageM
Toiling day and night you can feel the pain beneath my feet Joyfully sometimes but the continuous stares make my check beneath my feet. Wires surrounding me I didn't realize I was building myself a cage Hard to break open I didn't realise I would need a key for my cage. Brain washed into believing I had a job but deep down I was wasting away Even my youthfulness that I possessed had changed and the old face is staring my way. I can't turn back the hands of time as I sat down mending my cage Blood dripping down my wrist as I still realise I am stucked in a cage. A short letter to my younger self never belief everything you think Following the crowd made me believe I was building a future until I had nothing to think.
I had to stop thinking the old way until I realise that the old way got me this far on my journey
