[Verse 1] Owl in a cage You show your age Your sweetness has run foul Without a change You’re lost, exhausted By your time on stage The dawn is cold and numb Silence fills the air I search for an escape But find despair everywhere In the mirror, a stranger Shards of who I used to be And the stars in the sky Are a comfort I can't see [Chorus] An owl trapped inside a cage Can't wait to turn this page I can give what you implore Will you listen, will you want more? I want some care, I want some care Have you something left unsaid? Only the farewell shows what's read? So, Passion, Attention [Verse 2] Then you walked in my room And like sparks in the dark Life was suddenly thrilling and new What’s between you and I Just a comfortable lie I’m the fool who believes When you look in my eyes The night enfolds me in disguise With promises of forgetting pain Yet hope will slowly fade and rise As courage struggles to remain Still chained, still alone to face Despair so near, almost begone But morning's light will soon embrace With new resolve and purpose drawn [Bridge] Prince, all alone Upon your throne Your power is so frail You raise your voice You have no choice Inside your gilded jail [Chorus] An owl trapped inside a cage Can't wait to turn this page I can give what you implore Will you listen, will you want more? I want some care, I want some care Is there something you need to say That only goodbye will convey? I sought love's embrace But found only disgrace Craved attention's gaze Yet lost in lonely haze [Instrumental] [Interlude] I can't wait any more I can't wait to explore! It feels like it must be now! Break free from this cage somehow! Right now! Oh oh RIGHT NOW!!! [Outro] I can give what you implore Will you listen, will you want more? I want some care, no despair Is there something you need to say That only goodbye will convey? So... I sought love's embrace But found only disgrace Craved attention's gaze Yet lost in lonely haze Forever...
