The Runaway Train

I can feel the rain coming in
And all this pain has caused me to sin
Doing my will against the will of my parents
I thought how I feel would become apparent
Since it's not, I'm a kid misunderstood
All my dad does is cry about the hood
How his life was just like a train 
Unstoppable with no one to blame
Death, Pain, and Tragedies
While I'm in my room thinking of strategies
I know why the caged bird sings
Because that bird knows that freedom rings
