Living in a world of iron bars that
you have forged
living in a cage of self restraint
life in chains molded from your
expectations
a life bulit on a lie

stop and think about yourself
maybe you're not as alone as you think
feel the weight of life upon yourself
if you're tired then stop and sit down
with me

outcast from your hopes, exiled from your dreams
why do you live this lie
placing choices you should make upon the backs of others
giving up your sense of self
after i've gone please don't grieve me
i'll still live on in your memory
