Caged

No I am not happy

This lament grows so old

So cold, so fast

Time slips through my fingers

And I watch helplessly

Moving to take my place

And crawling back

My heart can't take

Any more of this

Pay my fee for the ferry

And cross to the other side

The boatman's bony fingers

Reach out to touch mine

My debt pulls me back

To the light, opens my eyes

To the blindness of what I have become

A fiend, a fiend

To hurt others like I have

Been hurt

My heart will never let you in

I'm afraid you'll have to realize

The folly in your struggle

I'm afraid I'll have to realize

The truth inside my lies
