Cage

Im the subtle melody, paintin’ love on the page,

But tonight I’m boxed in – soul singin’ from a cage.

Heart behind bars, vision clouded with the rage,

Dreams like jazz riffs, improvise to break the maze.

Key up in the pocket where my feelings like to hide,

Every note a whisper beggin’ doors to open wide.

Fingers trace the rhythm, tryna slide between the steel,

But when you bound by comfort, do you even know it’s real?

(Hook)

Im hummin’ in this cage, velvet voice on the wire,

Tryna break these locks with a hope and a choir.

Feathers on my tongue, got my spirit for hire,

I’m a bird with a pen, put my pain in a fire.

(Verse 2)

Love’s not a prison, but these habits got me cuffed,

Soft falsetto on the surface, but inside it’s rough.

Silk to the touch, but the truth’s a little tough,

Can’t croon forever, sometimes singin’ ain’t enough.

Windows in my chest, light sneakin’ through the bars,

I season heartbreak with honey and guitars.

Im not just a singer, Im a locksmith with a spark,

Turnin’ every tear into a sunrise from the dark.

(Hook)

Im hummin’ in this cage, velvet voice on the wire,

Tryna break these locks with a hope and a choir.

Feathers on my tongue, got my spirit for hire,

I’m a bird with a pen, put my pain in a fire.

(Bridge)

Maybe cages got a reason, make the song more pure,

Pressure makes a diamond, pain the polish for the lure.

Im searchin’ for the key, while I serenade the moon,

This heartbreak is a lesson, Imma graduate soon.

(Outro)

So Im singin’ to my freedom on the other side of rage,

in the struggle, yeah I’m dancin’ in my cage.
