I once had sunshine that made my cage seem decent It was my lifeline as I passed through each season If it had to leave then it wouldn’t be for long With each return to me I was taught a different song Some nice, little tunes to keep my spirits in the sky Yes, I was trapped, but I should exist free, why? My warmth came to me, so that’s where I wanted to be But then it went away I guess to become an individual I waited quite a while for my sunshine to be visible When it didn’t happen I tried so hard to sleep it away which didn’t help any So I thought of better days Days when we used to whistle all the same tunes Now I’m left wondering if we even view the same moon My heart’s telling me yes While my mind's thinking no It wouldn’t matter so much if I had somewhere to go I’m much too self-absorbed to notice my cage is unlocked I have my back against the wall staring at the same, single spot One day I happened to glance up when I suddenly glimpsed a glow I sat and waited for more to show because I just had to really know whether or not it was mine, my very own little sunshine either coming back forever or no more than a limited time The glow instantly disappeared after my third heavy sigh Not even a moment later tears swelled up in my eyes I was filled with hateful rage Exploding out of my cage I stomped around the world that transformed into my stage Now I come across as harmless, as if my mind’s crazily dazed ‘til my shine’s close enough to devour; struggling, screaming to be saved
