[Intro]
(Cage... the pain...)
[Verse 1]
I'm sitting here alone, not even tired
Wishing the reason why was bein' wired
Wondering why I haven't been fired
I've been hating my job since I got hired
It barely pays enough to put food on the plate
One good thing is that I've lost a lot of weight
But now my spine's begun to deteriorate
And it leaves me in a bad mental state
[Verse 2]
Control is something I no longer have
Hands tremble and lose their grip
I lose my balance and start to trip
My ankle always feels like it's about to rip
My memory has begun to slip
I know these are things related to age
It makes me want to yell out in rage
But I keep that locked up tight in a cage
[Chorus]
Instead, I write these words on a blank page
I pray to a god I don't even know
Hoping mercy is something he'll show
But they're just empty prayers, I know
Gods are fictitious, created long ago
[Verse 3]
I don't want a bunch of daily medication
Pharmaceuticals have a reputation
Of slowly killing your liver in relation
Too many pills taken in over saturation
Nor do I want to always live in pain
As my health slowly goes down the drain
My mental prowess will slowly wane
My whole life will wash right down the drain
[Bridge]
Disability's something I never did desire
I want to work until I can retire
These thoughts burn like wildfire
As the pain levels keep getting higher
[Outro]
Though my mind says it's time to resign
And the end seems like a clean design
I still believe that my story is mine
I won't let my own pain sever the line
