14 years I remained breathless Stuck in this void of a state Not a physical one, for the one I'm in now I love But a cage that lost as age gained This led to spiraling, trying to leave With time I saw a decade I'd need So I made my own cage that gained with age One locked from the inside, sealing my fate In here you'd find scraps Tron from books that belong to the past But only I can see what this truly means Worlds built on pillars of arranged scriptures Now you ask me to share The place I used to escape from you This wouldn't exist without your contribution But how would that be fair Kingdoms would still reign without an heir To take over the land And fill the crypt I'd be caged in

Cage
14 years I remained breathless Stuck in this void of a state Not a physical one, for the one I'm in now I love But a cage that lost as age gained This led to spiraling, trying to leave With time I saw a decade I'd need So I made my own cage that gained with age One locked from the inside, sealing my fate In here you'd find scraps Tron from books that belong to the past But only I can see what this truly means Worlds built on pillars of arranged scriptures Now you ask me to share The place I used to escape from you This wouldn't exist without your contribution But how would that be fair Kingdoms would still reign without an heir To take over the land And fill the crypt I'd be caged in
