the cage.

waking up to nightmares
in the light of day
making useless wishes
and throwing words away
saying that its easy
watching dreams that fade
outwardly indifferent
inside ever afraid

these steps lead only foward
these steps cannot retreat
no one will give the answer
can't find it on the street
open only to temptation
recieving only pain
beyond recognition
never gonna be the same
never the same

so blind to opposition
helpless to the truth
lost innocence in school days
but clinging to the youth
forgotten in transgresions
left behind in rage
only time will tell now
when I will leave this cage

these steps cannot lead foward
these steps cannot retreat
stuck inside the stubborn pride
unwilling to take the heat
open only to temptation
recieving only pain
beyond recognition
never gonna be the same
never the same
