Cages

I am a lion, ravenous sealed in a cage Should I be roaming free, honestly throw away the key turn your back, avert your eyes please don't take a chance and take a second glance Today I'd go through fire but I'm all too tired to spill all that transpired In instinct, I'm preying upon the victim who sparked my rage, sparked my hatred providing a trailer for the violent ways I could claw out their eyes while I pace the floor of my iron bar prison in calm, sweet calm to avoid the fact that I'm dwelling the drowning effect of unknown surprises I am a lion, ravenous throw away the key refuse to set me free The flashing lights of the camera irritate me, so I roar in offense stay far away from me Don't bother to take a chance to look back I put myself through fire just to retire and never see the light of this day again cause I'm too tired to spill what all transpired
