Caged

I am the caged bird, but for you I will not sing

I am the conquered, but you are not the king

I am the knives in the eyes of a plaything

I am the jailer, you just have my key ring

I grew up on a ship that had already sailed

I grew up bookmarked and hung up by a nail

I grew up seeing red and screaming in Braille

I grew up to be a 10 on the Richter scale

That's why they cauterized and put me in jail

They think explosion girl tells a tall tale

They said in this life you're only out on bail
