Caged

I am the girl in the box...is that what you want from me?
 Give up my fears, Give up my hope
   Adopt your stillborn dream?
I am the girl in the box...is that hard to believe?
 Sacred eyes crawl, from sacred ground
   but that's not even me.
I am the girl in the box...This is where you hide me
 Did you get, all you wanted
   from your silk woven dreams?

Tell me what do I do
with your one-sided intentions
 Am I blind
  to your truth
   tell me what am I missing?
Here in the dark 
Four walls to blind me
 Forceful hands
  close my eyes
   cos I'll never be free?

I am the girl in the box...no reason to hear me
 Tear my child, from my arms
   she is the bad seed
I am the girl in the box...no cause for to fear me
 Innocent, as the sin
   that brought you to be.
I am the girl in the box...who should I fear?
 Shove it down, empty ears
   your troubling creed.

Tell me what do I do
with your fearful intentions
 Am I dumb
  If I see
   through what you are missing
Here in the dark
four walls for to climb
 Choose your fate
  close your eyes
   cos I won't be blinded!
