Just because it glows
that doesn't mean
everything's on show
No riches don't make a happy home
No riches don't compensate
for soul
Diamond just a stone
She gives everything to something
that don't mean anything
But that's all she knows
She'll never go back the way
she came came
Now is this just
a prisoner without a cage
Not a life she chose but she
followed the gold code it wrote
What she wanted
it couldn't be sold
She started to lose her way
You didn't take communion
after the sermon
You don't believe there's
a God above you
With His plan for you
So you sniff it and drink and
changin' who you are
Things that make you feel alive
somethin' wrong with that
But I feel for you
Now is this just
a prisoner without a cage
So trapped in this life
you better make it out alive
You better give it another try
or you won't make it out alive
Cage bird singin' on tour
Just an amateur tryna mature
Grew so fast that
she never grew up
Got to move somewhere new
just cause its newer
Everyday it rain where she live
she say you lettin' all the air out
TVs are for windows
where she stare out
Extra hours at parties
Tryna find some jacket
she don't even care about
She ain't even wear it out
Building nests on arms
Breast so warm
You think of mother's bosom
She's so green you'd flip
but probly shouldn't
I hope she catch a tail and
her circles get smaller
Before the drill ain't a drill
and the wolf is for real
And the wolf is for real
Now is this just just
a prisoner without a cage
So trapped in this life
you better make it out alive
You better give it another try
or you won't make it out alive
Now silent and slowly
After a while she's lonely
She waits to die
A livin' waste of time
All this green no blue skies
All sunny days are cold as ice
The frozen sun
she's trapped inside
Is it just is it just
a prisoner without a cage
