I'm drowning in this cage that everybody seems to love.

Silence is my only friend but it's also burning me alive, ripping my brain into thin shreds, making me wish that I was gone. At least that way it would be my choice to be alone.

The walls inside my head are shrinking, reminding me each minute that I'm claustrophobic.

I want to leave my head but silence keeps wanting to tame me. It makes the cage lit up in flames so that I don't get away.

It's funny how the one thing that makes me want to fly closes all the windows, doesn't let me come close to the locks that hold this prison.

This cage that everybody seems to love.

This cage that everybody calls life.
