Caricamento in corso...

a bird in a cage

Thanks to you, I know who I am and who I should be
as a father, it was your duty to teach me
but you didn’t teach me to write, love, or read
you taught me to be a bird in a cage, wishing to be free
a flower in a flowy meadow of greed
a sunken ship, lost out a sea
 
Thanks to you, my trust in the world is gone
as gone as you were when you couldn’t light your bong, but when you were home was worse, dont tell me you weren’t wrong
they told you to love your daughter, not put her in a thong and treat her as your personal slave from dusk until dawn
 
Thanks to you, I refuse to break
I’ve finally fallen asleep, I don’t want to wake
from this dead sleep, where no one can take
my will to live; life is like an earthquake
they say those you care for the most cause your heart to ache
not that I care for you anymore, you sick conniving snake
 
Thanks to you, I live my life as a bastard
which is okay, because life with you was a disaster
without you, I can be my own master
I can pick up my shattered heart, instead of leaving it to be plastered
on a wall of shame
where there’s nothing left to gain
in a life where no one dares to know your name,
where no one cares enough to see the pain that lies in your heart, it’s like a stain that can’t be rubbed away
forever it remains, demanding to be seen
standing its domain
 
Thanks to you, I know who I am and I will be
because of you, I know how to deal with shit daily
I learned to bear through all that life can bring
and put a smile on my face, and try to be happy
I’m not broken;
I’m simply a bird in a cage, learning to be free
