As I'm gazing out across the empty shoreline
There are many questions running through my mind
As the waves caress the rocks upon my island
I count the days until I feel them on my skin
Have I become the very one?
The very man I hoped I'd never have to meet
Look at me now, I'm here somehow
And I'm surrounded by the weeping of the sea
This cage that I call my home
Never ceases to oppress my sorry soul
The dying embers of life in me are gone
As I lay here growing older
As the night begins to fall and day is fading
Tormented by the flickering of city lights
But when I lay my mind to rest I dream of freedom
I hope I never have to open up my eyes
The damage done, all hope is gone
This place was built for people never to escape
Beyond these walls lies everything
I ever wanted but for now I'll have to wait
This cage that I call my home
Never ceases to oppress my sorry soul
The dying embers of life in me are gone
As I lay here growing older
This cage that I call my home
Never ceases to oppress my sorry soul
The dying embers of life in me are gone
As I lay here growing older
