How many lies have I told you?
Just to say I’m fine
How many reasons have I thought of?
Just so I could say I’m okay

Because to tell the truth
I’m not, not really
I’ve been hiding so far up
Behind my own misery

It’s easier to face no fear
To hide the tears
Be at the rear
For my temporary peace

I feel free
Between a cage
Where there’s no place else
But a sanctuary made of firm grills

I feel free
To suppress my wings
In my pre-made nest
Of no possibilities

I feel free
Or at least I try to feel free
Maybe of the world
‘Cause I’m afraid it’ll hurt me
