Prisoner in Chains

I'm a prisoner

Of the secrets I've been told

I'm a prisoner

Of the secrets I hold

I'm a prisoner

Of the secrets I've heard

I'm a prisoner

A victim of a little bird

-

Chains around my legs

Each link a document

Of trust

Chains around my arms

Each link a statement

Of deception

Chains around my head

Each link pulling me in different

Directions

Chains around my heart

Each link a declaration

Of war

-

Caged by the hate

Others misplace

Caged by my own

Trust and misdoing

Caged by the bird

That spoke too soon

Caged by the song

Of the sun at noon
