In a cage I am

In your bedroom you keep an iron cage
Where a blackbird sings her freedom song
For you know the true value of keeping slaves
They sing the saddest of songs

You keep my heart in a cage
Are you ever letting me go?
For I’m tired of singing this song
Of my dreams lost long ago

You keep me by your side
Just to have a place to hide
A figure to please you I am
And you don’t care how I feel

You keep me bound in these chains
Why can’t you just let me go?
For I’m dying living here
Locked in a prison of fear

A blackbird I am in your cage
Singing the saddest of songs
A song of pain and regret
A song of love forever lost

I’m waiting for the day you will say
You’re done with my whining and tears
Waiting for the day you won’t need
Me to sing and to bleed [for you]

P.s. The first stranza, the lines that inspired me are from a Brendan Perry song "Medusa"
