Caged Animal With A Blade

Caged in this dark prison
my only relief: a rusted blade
and so the memories of the beauty
and the light will forever fade

the cage I'm in, is made of your love,
your hate, your pain, and your lies
they've trapped me here forever,
my whole life and after i die

this murderous pain and suffering
it is what you've done to my soul
and its being torn apart piece by piece
it'll never again be whole

this cage of death is your love
and this wretched blade is mine
its the only pain i can cause
theres a heart beneath those lines

this razor blade opens the truth
though it seems as though only my skin
it breaks through this barren cage
and shows whats truly within.

feelings mean nothing in this prison
i am but an animal caged and forgotten
only this animal has been torn apart
and has been left cold and rotten

this razor cuts away the dead flesh
and shows whats truly there inside
but this lovely gift comes with a price
and emotions whats denied.

please let me out of this prison
i have exposed my every thought
but still I'm locked up in this prison
even though i am overwrought.
