Silk sheets
Cold spine
Big house
Small life
Got a view of the world
Through fingerprint glass
Gold frame on the wall
Smiles staged
Half alive
Your laugh sounds rehearsed
Like a line you forgot
You’re living in a golden cage
Shiny bars
Still a cage
Everything you want on a silver tray
But you can’t buy an open gate
You’re living in a golden cage
Soft hands
Hidden rage
All this glitter on your name
Still you ache
Still you ache
Driver knows your secrets
He stares at the road
You scroll past disasters
In designer clothes
You dance in the kitchen
On imported stone
Music up
Lights down
Still you feel alone (so alone)
You’re living in a golden cage
Shiny bars
Still a cage
Everything you want on a silver tray
But you can’t buy an open gate
You’re living in a golden cage
Soft hands
Hidden rage
All this glitter on your name
Still you ache
Still you ache
If you walked out barefoot
Left the rings in a pile
Would the sky feel brighter
Or just too wide?
If you cracked one window
Let the air rush in
Would the dust start dancing
Would you breathe again?
You’re living in a golden cage
Shiny bars
Still a cage
Everything you want on a silver tray
But you can’t buy an open gate
You’re living in a golden cage
Soft hands
Hidden rage
All this glitter on your name
Still you ache
Still you ache
