My Cage In Your Prison Earth

Hiding in my cage, hiding shape and hiding form Waiting breathlessly for the onslaught of the storm Any hopeful light is a handicapped hell hostage Ruffling the silk feathers of your timid weak plans You are torn from the safety of your shell The remains are rancid with a tinge of morbid cells Gone rogue off the grid, a sudden mutation No one saw it coming to destroy our generation The struggle won't let us leave an offering to our future Slim chances of survival, like being left to die. How the hell did I manage to fall down here Time eats everyone and time never feeds the fear Marching on commanded by the seconds that become sand I can't help but embrace wonder guided by universal hands I can't help you discover what you seek You'll find your stolen treasure in a riddle of tongue and cheek No one said this ride was easy I'm becoming old but not obsolete Finding self loathing comfort in my blinding rage A book forged from hatred, blood spilled on every page Everything I've ever done, good or bad it's held against me I've given up trying to fight you, you'll bring yourself down to your knees The solid ground you stand on built from lies, and tyranny
