“Cage of Silence”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am G
In this cage of silence, I’m alone,
D Am
Trapped within the echoes of my own stone.
Am G
The sun is nothing more than a faint glow,
D Am
My dreams are buried six feet below.
(Chorus)
C G
I’m fighting in this deep prison,
D Am
Against the chains of my own decision.
C G
In the dark, I’m seeking the horizon,
D Am
Learning to dance with the shadows in unison.
(Verse 2)
Am G
My past mistakes, a heavy chain,
D Am
Each link a memory sealed with pain.
Am G
But in the music, I find my release,
D Am
A song of freedom, a moment of peace.
(Chorus)
C G
I’m soaring from this deep prison,
D Am
A bird set free, a new vision.
C G
In the night, I chase the crimson,
D Am
Finding the dawn within the prison.
