I see,

A world of dreams
But they see
A memory

Like Pictures!!!
They can not tell
What was then and what is
Now
Locked up in the moments that they
Crown

I watch,
Behind the bars
Looking
upon the the stars

They view
Their own faces
Laughing
With all the aces

Cut off from the real life
Stations

(Chorus)
“CAGED!
In my head
CAGED!
Without a bed
CAGED!
Is what I said

Doesn’t seem like I can get anywhere!
Kinda like the people out there!

CAGED!
In my head
CAGED!
Without a bed
CAGED!
Is what they said”

People running, trapped in their own reflection

Censored
All my words
So I can’t
Think of a verse

Brain stalls!!!
The moment falls
What was then and what is
Now
Locked up in my head as I
Wander through town

I hear
Them talking
Wishing
They could break the cage

Trying
To get somewhere
But nothing seems to work
As they look in the mirror

Break Free!
Break Free!
Break Free!
Break Free!
What was then and what is
Now
Break Free!
Break Free!
Break Free!
Break Free!

From moments grip on you

(Chorus)
“CAGED!
In my head
CAGED!
Without a bed
CAGED!
Is what I said

Doesn’t seem like I can get anywhere!
Kinda like the people out there!

CAGED!
In their heads
CAGED!
Without the beds
CAGED!
Is what they said”

What was then and what is
Now
