Glass cage, your door is broken, won’t stay closed

All I have to do is move the wedge

Glass cage, don’t stop the cold and when it rains

There’s a leak in the top of your frame

Brick wall, across my view you’re beautiful

I see it all from edge to edge

Brick wall, you aren’t even that high

Branches reaching up into the gray sky

 

I watch the seasons pass through my window

I’m the only one moving slow

The sun will set and rise again outside my window

I still have nowhere to go

 

Nobody is looking for my face

No one asked to hear my voice

I think if I never leave this place

Then who could I annoy

 

I say I want someone to know my name

I just want to make some noise

I am trapped forever in my cage

When it’s so easy to destroy

This glass cage

 

Small desk, I tied my life down in your wires

Promise myself I’ll succeed someday

Small desk, you keep on making me distracted

Time’s up, I don’t know what happened

Small hands, preoccupied for all this while

But I didn’t do anything today

Small hands, you keep on writing and I’ll

Watch time slip away like the gray in the sky

 

I watch the seasons pass through my window

I’m the only one moving slow

The sun will set and rise again outside my window

I still have nowhere to go

 

Nobody is looking for my face

No one asked to hear my voice

I think if I never leave this place

Then who could I annoy

 

I say I want someone to know my name

I just want to make some noise

I am trapped forever in my cage

When it’s so easy to destroy

This glass cage

 

Glass cage, there’s nothing stopping me from leaving

I could walk out right now . . .

Glass cage, you’re just a room that I abuse

If I leave, what’s the use . . .

Weak heart, only thing stopping me from being

All I want to be now

Weak heart, you and I’ll just waste time

We’ll be gone and gray like the sky

 

Nobody is looking for my face

No one asked to hear my voice

I think if I never leave this place

Then who could I annoy

 

I say I want someone to know my name

I just want to make some noise

I am trapped forever in my cage

When it’s so easy to destroy

 

Nobody is looking for my face

No one asked to hear my voice

I think if I never leave this place

Then who could I annoy

 

I say I want someone to know my name

I just want to make some noise

I am trapped forever in my cage

When it’s so easy to destroy

This glass cage
