"In a Cage" by Jacob Hunter

In a Cage


Trapped
Longing
Mourning
Begging
Praying
Hoping
I’m in a cage
Trapped by the likes of the men or this world
In my mind my vision is twirling
My heart is unfurling
Longing the life that I missed
With girl that I never kissed
Rule the world with an iron fist
Mourning for the lives that were lost
And the ones that don’t exist
They’re nothing to me
Just an empty soul
A lifeless body trapped in the dust
Begging for the worldly lusts
The desires of this world are painful
I’m spinning and crying and hoping for the best
Praying to the one that said I’m my own
Praying for the power to do it by myself
To do it all for the best
Hoping the one that I need will see me here
Hoping she’ll stand up for what’s right
Stand up for the one she loves
Take a stand and fight!
For what’s right in your eyes
Shine bright like a light in pitch-black-starless-night
I’m in a cage waiting for the answer
To the questions that I asked in my previous life
Inside the fortress is waiting for me
A ride to the one who cried worldwide
Waiting for the one who lied to save my life
That I waited for so long to see you subside
I’m the one that tried to let us abide
In a close relationship
With each other
The ones alone and cold
On the outside
Now it’s all changed
I’m the one who died on the inside
Of eternity’s life
Tried with all my might
To keep a life worth living
Alive
You can say it’s over
You can say it's right
But in the end we’ll fall out
I tried to make it right
By the way I say I’m sorry
By the way I hold you tight
To the side far too wide for life to end
This way it’ll all begin like the way we collided
Full of pride you denied
The life I never had
All I did was provide a way for life to continue
You’re the one who had to decide
To love or to hate
The one trapped and longing for you
Or the one free and alive
At least I can say I tried to keep
My life on a road to eternity!
Guess I couldn’t keep us together
Forever
Its way too long
Whatever
I could only say never
Never leave me
Never forsake me
Never say it’s over
I’m the one who tried to make you see
How much I loved you
To make you agree
That we were meant for each other
To hold
And say
I love you baby!
I’m in a cage just sitting
And waiting
For life to take its courses
And to make you believe
That’s there’s all these special forces
Pulling us together
Alone in the dark about to embark
On a journey through the void
Of a life I took for granted
Sometimes I feel
That my life is a joke
That my life is enchanted
That I can’t even see what is going on inside me
Blinded by hate
Blinded by love
All I can think of
Is how great
My life was
In this place you call a cell
Yeah I’m trapped
All this undesirable rage
I’m freed by some invisible grace
Freed from my prison
No longer in a cage
