Birds Prisoned in Cages (Remastered) - Phil Chang

Your condescending undertones So overplayed, leave me alone You hate me, but I'll never quit Say my music sucks and copy it I wanna wear the things I wanna wear Without your comments in my ear All the whispering is just too much But who are you to even judge? Don't ask if I'm okay 'Cause I'm never gonna change I don't live for you, I live for me Can't shut me up, you'll hear me scream Woah, lions aren't meant for cages Let me live my life Don't need approval, not from you Don't need your take on what I do Woah, lions aren't meant for cages Let me live my life (let me live my life) I'm gonna crash my car into the wall Just to see who cares at all I'll take a one way ticket out of here And if I want I'm gonna disappear Don't ask if I'm okay 'Cause I'm never gonna change I don't live for you, I live for me Can't shut me up, you'll hear me scream Woah, lions aren't meant for cages Let me live my life Don't need approval, not from you Don't need your take on what I do Woah, lions aren't meant for cages Let me live my life They say I've gone crazy They say I've gone downhill I'm still the same, baby But I'm just way more real Real I don't live for you, I live for me Can't shut me up, you'll hear me scream (hear me scream) Woah, lions aren't meant for cages Let me live my life Don't need approval, not from you (not from you) Don't need your take on what I do Woah, lions aren't meant for cages Let me live my life

I feel something over me And try to run away from the demons that haunted me The key turns inside No place to hide I'm locked in no place, no place I think I could be going crazy, going crazy oh oh Feeling the walls come closer, bodies colder ohhhhhhh Cos I'm behind bars Cos I'm behind bars Now a whisper's calling me (calling me, calling me) And why does my skin crawl With the pain of insanity? The key turns inside No place to hide I'm locked in no place, no place I think I could be going crazy, going crazy oh oh Feeling the walls come closer, bodies colder ohhhhhhh Cos I'm behind bars Cos I'm behind bars Let me out of here I need somebody please I think I could be going crazy, going crazy oh oh Feeling the walls come closer bodies colder ohhhhh Cos I'm behind bars Cos I'm behind bars Behind bars

A net for a windshield, You're driving too fast, There might be a meaning to this phase. Abandoned abandons Built a graveyard for ideas you wish you've never had. Why don't we call it war and once for all try to survive together? You countdown your time and fake your smiles like the rest of us. If you're sure you're wasting your life, You're not alone. You're sure you're wasting your life And you can't stand the rain, But you're alive and unprotected. Run away, Until smiles pass like headlights. Death takes a swing at everyone. In the list of your demons, A familiar face in the distance. You drive fast. It takes a swing at everyone. But you don't know what it means to feel brave. Who the fuck asked you to feel brave? You drive fast. You drive faster and faster. But you don't know what it means to feel safe. You drive fast. You drive faster and faster. You countdown your time and fake your smiles like the rest of us. And you just hope it will pass. A voice dances its pain away, begging you to survive. But you dine with your mermaids, They ask you to leave and to sink no further. You don't seem to reach peace, and that's alright. I guess it's fueled with the anger That our heart keeps gasping when we try to understand who we are. A voice dances its pain away, begging you to survive. But you dine with your mermaids, They ask you to leave and to sink no further. You don't seem to reach peace, and that's alright. I guess it's fueled with the anger That our heart keeps gasping when we try to understand who we are. It feels like we wanna change the weather From rainy to stupid grey. It feels like we wanna change the weather From rainy to stupid grey. You're sure you're wasting your life. And you're not alone. You're sure you're wasting your life. And you're not alone. You countdown your time and fake your smiles like the rest of us.
