A Cage of Memories Lyrics

Yo, picture this, single momma, bills stacked high

Empty fridge, tear-stained nights, watchin' dreams die

Rent overdue, eviction notice, knockin' at the door

Little me, wide-eyed, wonderin' what we fightin' for

Hand-me-down clothes, holes in shoes, walkin' through the rain

Whispers in the playground"Your life's a hurricane"

Momma worked her fingers raw, tryin' to make ends meet

Wishin' on a broken star, if anyone was there

Concrete walls, cold and grey, a children's home's embrace

Lost in the system, another nameless face

Echoes of laughter, but the joy ain't mine to keep

Locked in a cage of memories, while the shadows creep

Fast-paced life, slow-motion pain, a twisted, quirky rhyme

Growin' up broken, against the tickin' time

Foster families, awkward smiles, and judging eyes

Another room, another bed, beneath indifferent skies

Rules and regulations, a number on a chart

Yearnin' for a heartbeat, a love that sets apart

Traded stories for silence, built a wall around my soul

Learned to survive, to play the broken, empty role

The system's gears grindin, crushin' every fragile dream

A puppet on a string, it's not what it would seem

Concrete walls, cold and grey, a children's home's embrace

Lost in the system, another nameless face

Echoes of laughter, but the joy ain't mine to keep

Locked in a cage of memories, while the shadows creep

Fast-paced life, slow-motion pain, a twisted, quirky rhyme

Growin' up broken, against the tickin' time

Quirky shadows dancin' on the walls at night

A twisted lullaby, a never-ending fight

But somewhere deep inside, a flicker starts to glow

A stubborn ember, watchin' the seeds of resilience grow

Yeah, they tried to break me, mold me, fit me in their frame

But I'm a broken masterpiece, whisperin' my name

From concrete walls to broken dreams, a story yet untold

A survivor's anthem, brave and strong and bold.
