Bound within the cage
Confusing thoughts of youth and age
Though no barriers are visible
They are most assuredly present

I cannot pass beyond the invisible line
Infused to the wrinkles in time
Imprisoned surely and fast
My heart in platnium chains
Placed behind iron bars

Bound within the cage
The elixir of love evermore
Sweet sour concoction often shunned
I steadfastly refuse to taste
Or bring this potion to my lips
So it is in this jail I shall sit
Bound within the cage
