Caged tiger
Pacing restlessly
Unable to sleep or eat
Held here in this place
Wild eyes glare angrily
Caged tiger
She's dying inside
Caged tiger
Across this world she's come
Far from home and all alone
Broken and lonely
Yet she will never beg
Caged tiger
Look human at what you've done
Caged tiger
Once so majestic and regal
She growls at her keepers
They know she wont be tamed
Beautiful animal
Caged tiger
Wasting away
Caged tiger
A beauty unsurpassed
Rich coat and thick muscles on her bones
But her eyes are empty as stones
You think you've saved her
Caged tiger
You've condemned an innocent soul
Caged tiger
Longing to be free
Looking at the world through glazed eyes
And soulless stares
She is trapped inside this world
Caged tiger
Don't you see
Caged tiger
That tiger is me
And this thing holding me unwillingly captive
Is my heart
Like her I resign to my fate
Unable to escape my destiny
Around my cage I pace restlessly
Waiting for death to take me
Caged tiger
We are more alike than anyone can see
