I Never Complained

By Chad Carlson 

It's OK if you want to leave I wouldn't trust me I've always got something up my sleeve My movements are shifty Blink once and you missed me How can you fight what you can't see Put here for a purpose I make people nervous By exposing your lies and your deceit Humankind is in season Most treacherous treason I'm in this cage for a reason

Every day is the same In this cage that remains Though it hurts like hell It's much better this way Cause the pain that I feel Keeps the "free" people sane Just know that I never complained When you locked me away

You paint a picture that's perfect A web of lies but you work it I'll give you credit where it is due But you're treading on thin ice This false front that you call your life One wrong step and you'll be through I wish I could see it That moment you eat shit And you lose all your dreams I know it won't be long And all you have will be gone I've reserved your cage right next to me

Every day is the same In this cage that remains Though it hurts like hell It's much better this way Cause the pain that I feel Keeps the "free" people sane Just know that I never complained When you locked me away
