I was born tired, and I'm worn through
Been spread too thin and I don't want to choose
To grip life like a rope that’s slipping through my hands
All these violent seas and all these shifting sands
Are bringing me around like a newborn brought to life
Being born in a cage makes you doubt that you can fly
But I will fly away
Into some glorious light
Forget my yesterdays
I was born to rise
But all I see is ground around me
I'm ready oh I'm ready for the skies
My life it don’t make any sense
It don't make any promises and it sure as hell
Don't fit neatly in the palm of my hand
All the jagged peaks all the ragged miles
What do I believe is my breath worthwhile
All the useless words all the paper chains are keeping me down here
Oh I will die in this cage
