Lyrics
I was born tired, and I'm worn through
I was born fatigued and exhausted
Been spread too thin and I don't want to choose
I've been stretched too thin, faced with choices I don't want to make
To grip life like a rope that's slipping through my hands
Life is slipping away like a rope through my hands
All these violent seas and all these shifting sands
Challenges and uncertainties surround me
Are bringing me around like a newborn brought to life
Life's turbulence is steering me like a newborn discovering life
Being born in a cage makes you doubt that you can fly
Being confined in a metaphorical cage makes one doubt their potential
But I will fly away
Despite challenges, I will break free
Into some glorious light
Heading towards a bright and glorious future
Forget my yesterdays
Choosing to forget the past
I was born to rise
Embracing the innate ability to overcome challenges
But all I see is ground around me
Despite the desire to rise, the surroundings seem limiting
I'm ready oh I'm ready for the skies
Prepared and eager for a higher existence
My life it don't make any sense
Life appears confusing and lacking coherence
It don't make any promises and it sure as hell
No assurances or commitments in life, and it doesn't easily fit in one's control
Don't fit neatly in the palm of my hand
The challenges and vast distances seem insurmountable
All the jagged peaks all the ragged miles
All the difficulties and long journeys
What do I believe is my breath worthwhile
Questioning the value of one's existence
All the useless words all the paper chains are keeping me down here
Trapped by meaningless words and constraints
Oh I will die in this cage
Expressing a feeling of being confined and restricted
