This is a cage
This is the cage I'm in
I just want to burn the bars but I have no flame
I know you wish I were just the same
But you're killing me inside
Killing us all because you're corrupting me
All you are is fake
All you want is an imposter
An imposter
I'm not your fucking imposter
Manipulation strangles me completely
There's nothing I can do
Nothing to break free
Let me out, I don't have the key
I can't find it anywhere
It's nowhere to be seen
Just like my personality, since you've separated it from me
This is a cage
This is the cage I'm in
It hurts because I can't be loved
It hurts because no one cares
Not for the things I feel or the things I need
Not for any part of the real me
I know you can see through glass
I know you'll never admit it
I know you want something you'll never have
And I hope you regret hiding me
Until you're hidden too
I hope you regret stabbing me
Until you get stabbed 50 times more
This is a cage
This is the cage I'm in
This is the rage
The rage I've felt ever since you took every part of me
And dissolved it in acid
Like nothing ever mattered
Like I would never matter
I wonder when you'll notice that you're dead to me
Only because I'm dead to you too.
