Lyrics:

Listen to the caged bird sing
as it flaps wings wrapped in puppet strings
It dangles from its tiny perch
The floor's too full of shiny things

The open window taunts nearby
He gazes at an endless sky
And yearns to break his bonds and fly
And asks why did he buy this lie?

He struggles hard against his knots
They cut into his feathers
The blood he draws begins to clot
As he pulls against his tethers

The red he's earned begins to set
And glues his wings together
The bread he earned but didn't get
Gone mouldy lost forever

Chorus
He's dying to live
As he rots inside his prison
He's singing from his heart
But nobody will listen

Is this living?


Does no one even hear?
The sound of this sick bird
Drowning in his tears
Choking on his words

Silent through his days
He sings his song at night
And in his cage decays
Forlorn he longs for flight

He sang so loud upon deaf ears
He lost his feeble voice
He bought the guilded cage himself
This fatal fate his choice

He croaks alas to no avail
With the little breath he's left
And stares out listless from his jail
Broken and bereft

Chorus
He's dying to live
As he rots inside his prison
He's singing from his heart
But nobody will listen

Is this living?

Bridge
Living is killing him
He's screaming in his rage
dying on the inside
As he dies inside his cage

Chorus
He's dying to live
As he rots inside his prison
He's singing from his heart
But nobody will listen

Is this living?
