owl in a cage

you show your age

your sweetness has run foul

without a change you're lost

exhausted by your time

on stage

then you walked in my room

and like sparks in the dark

life was suddenly thrilling and new

what's between you and i

just a comfortable lie

i'm the fool who believes when you look in my eyes

prince all alone

upon your throne

your power is so frail

you raise your voice

you have no choice inside your gilded jail
