Altered Mind - Of Cages

Written by Annika Phoenix
Lyrics:
I am on opposite ends
who is a foe and who is a friend
reverse and forward all the same
sick of playing stupid games
opinion changed by deranged
disordered thinking something strange
I can’t pretend to understand
the assignment or the demand
nothing ventured, nothing planned
sand slipping through idle hands
I put up a mask of clarity
while living off the charity
and rarity of my perspective
while being called a defective
by more than voices in my head
interpretation of what was said
a language I thought I’d know
by now emotions can overflow
into a flood into this cage
I built on top of blinded rage
I want to change the fucking world
dreams in the minds of little girls
children unbothered by reality
naïve and innocent until they see
that no one respects sanctity
that no one respects autonomy
there’s an abundance of disrespect
and all that us animals have left
are the scraps passed down from
the enemy who drinks our blood
and we smile and nod and accept
the incomprehensible concept
that our lives are expendable
and the only thing that’s dependable
is this notion of individuality
islands in an overflowing stream
maybe there is more to it than this
and I’m just being dramatic when
I fall into this flood into this cage
I built on top of blinded rage
Threads and opinions oblivion fading
no one can possibly be mistaken
I’ll fight until my life is taken
but I don’t see the point
all this courage all this strength
all the things I thought remained
through it all I’ve been trained
I’m tired of this fucking game
I’m the strongest soul I know
until I’m not and then I’ll go
into oblivion where I belong
confused by all this right or wrong
I am chaos with a sense of purpose
talking heads make me fucking nervous
I wish I was totally blind
not obsessed with being kind
to the abusers who remain unchecked
trauma stories are all we have left
a flood of sadness destroys the cage
I built on top of blinded rage
