I'm trapped in this cage
And just can't escape
I can see the key through the bars
But it's just too far
I see they want a show
Expectations are a go
So I get into the cell
Locked, throw the key, as well
I'm trapped in this cage
And just cannot escape
I can see the key through the bars
But it's just too far
I mean, it's not that far, but I can't just leave
I can feel the people watching me, oh
If I walk out now, I'm afraid I'll disappoint
And I got in here for content
Don't wanna be abandoning
I see three solid walls
And one made up of bars
But it looks like there's no eyes on me so far
Look a little closer, it's a one-way wall
People disappointed when I call it off
I put myself here
I can't just suddenly stop
They're all are waiting
Watching, gawking
And I'm a completionist
Won't just stop it
Once a place of joy
Once a place of better
Locked up like a toy
My self-imposing fetters
Ah-ah-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-ah
Oh-ah-oh-ah-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh
It's hard to take care of myself
When I'm already struggling
To take care of everyone else
There's just no time
And now this year there will be even less
On account of I need a job to survive
How can I feel trapped
When I'm the one who put me here
Projects uncompleted probably my biggest fear
And these days I'm feeling incomplete, hey
When "me" is right in my way
And when I'm done if I were to die
That would be alright
Isn't that a sad mentality to hold
It may be sad, but it's mine
And when I'm done if I were to die
That would be alright
Isn't that a sad mentality to hold
It may be sad, but it's mine
