Open Cage lyrics

Paint your feathers, choose your style Walk the runway, wear your smile Break the rules, but not too far Shine exactly like the stars Everybody's born unique Funny how we never speak Different colors, different names Running in the very same lanes Open skies, invisible chains Different roads, the same old train Run, run, run Faster than the setting Sun Everybody screams, I'm free Marching to the same beat Fly, fly, fly Borrow someone else's sky The cage is open, can't you see? Nobody leaves Yeah We buy rebellion off a shelf Call it freedom, lose ourselves Same haircut, same tattoos Same opinions, different shoes Scrolling fast, chasing trends Every rebel got the same friends Everybody wants to lead But they're following the feed Fast life, fast cars Fast fame, fake stars Talking loud about being real Tell me, when did fake become the deal? No chains around my wrists Just invisible checklists Thinking I'm choosing my own direction While the crowd makes every selection Paint your wings Before they tell you how Touch the clouds If you remember how Run, run, run Faster than everyone Everybody says they're free While standing in the same line Fly, fly, fly Higher doesn't mean alive The cage was never locked We just forgot to leave Maybe freedom isn't running Maybe It's choosing where to stop
