The Cage
a statue of promises way up high
lies instead of truth I still wonder how
trapped in a bungalow obscured, I hide
save me baby, you promised in your vows
facts hide behind deception anyhow
confined to your penitentiary cell
magician conjuring a secret spell
I still need you baby, please stop your rage
when your fire is gone you send me to hell
how do I survive when locked in a cage?
