I see them prying
Eyes never lying
Under their judgmental look I feel my insides melting
I feel nothing, I feel nothing
Don't let them know you're hurting
Aching with shame and regret
They all know why you fret
Under their superior eye, riding the victory horse
Let them enjoy their parade
While you enjoy your escape
In shame we sleep and we dream, each of us, of freedom
We sit in fire and bathe in shame
And watch the colorful cavalcade
This day is fucked
I scream cuz I know just why the caged bird sings
It sings of fire and destruction, of what the cavalcade brings
It sings of ice and madness, of our mistakes and our wins
Let me escape, let me run away
Let me fall in the abyss so that I'll never be seen again
Don't hold me when I'm vulnerable, hold me when I'm strong
Judge me when I'm strong, don't judge my lowest point
You are all cowards
Cowards prying
Cowards forever lying
