What do you mean I'm not allowed to scream? When I'm letting go of what once Was a huge dream Meant to ignore what I've always Wanted to be Im being told what I should go and be But I'm not good at the lie I'm forced to live How do i watch my lights go from Bright to dim ?
Tell me how am I not allowed to scream? I live like a bird locked in a cage My every move controlled by you with rage But at the window I'll always look with some sort of 'hate' Knowing these walls are the only distance I'll ever pace I wonder if I'll ever make it out of this place
But one day you fed me and forgot To lock the cage, I looked over at the open window I close my eyes and opened them again Hoping my eyes arnt telling lies
My heart in my throat Not daring to hope I blinked once again and I could feel The wind blowing through my feathers , calling me ... But I just stood there And from my eyes fell a single tear Finally you weren't here This is what I've always dreamed
Is it finally my chance to scream? But what's holding me back ? Do I no longer know how to fly? Do I want to cry? Indecisive is what I'll always be Cause you long ago decided the lie I've forever lived
And just as I'm about to take a leap Spread my wings and stop being the little leaf I'm really about to leave I won't need to scream What was once a huge dream will be A life I will now live .
But it seems like all I wasted was time Because into the air I was about to dive Instead my eyes opened wide And I saw the light of the sun... It was morning and The window was open The cage was locked.... Just how it's always been But now I don't think I want to scream I don't like this constant dream So this lie I'll learn to love and live But I will never scream Though it was quite nice to dream...
