I always feel like I'm in cage.
I can't have this cage controlling me.
Too bad I'm in it, on this ridiculous stage.
And all the acts are never free.

I speak, and I'm left with nothing.
I act, for I know of nothing else to do.
I fight, but I get blown back with everything.
I lie, but my smile is nothing but an obvious taboo.

I miss everything outside the cage.
But I feel like I'll never leave.
All my emotions turn to rage.
With headaches that you and I couldn't believe.

One day I'll be away from this.
I'll be strong enough to rid myself from this place.
I will not be a person to just dismiss.
But for now I'll be on this caged stage with a straight face.
