Caged

Matters of the heart are a disease
That will slowly kill you in the end
Just when you think it’s alright to stand tall
And be comfortable in your own skin again
That’s when they tear you down
And you die a little more inside

I can now say that I’ve felt
Love, Hate, Rage and Despair
All in their purest forms
And they’ve twisted me into
Something I can’t define
Something I’ll never escape

I’ve caged my heart
So as to not let it beat more
Than it should
Just enough to keep me alive
Locked away and festering
Never to see the light again

There’s no such thing as happiness
All there is are moments
That are slightly better than the rest
Those moments are few and far between
And are gone as quickly as they came
Because nothing good lasts forever

I’ve caged my heart
So as to not let it beat more
Than it should
Just enough to keep me alive
Locked away and festering
Never to see the light again

All the feelings gone
And I suppose it’s just as well
I’d rather feel nothing at all
Instead of killing myself over nothing
I’ll be alive and oblivious to it all
Free and unafraid

I’ve caged my heart
So as to not let it beat more
Than it should
Just enough to keep me alive
Locked away and festering
Never to see the light again
