A little girl raised by ocean waves
Could never understand the flames
the power, the heat, surrounded by pain
how even in the rain, they blazed

I tried to find the answers and I tried to play along
wanting to know how the fire got so strong
all I wanted was to see
but my eyes stayed closed
because I wasn’t free
I was just exposed

I built the cage so slow
While the fire burned my skin
I didn’t know it was my fault
so I locked myself in

I tried to hide and to fight the flames
to find the source and bring the rain
but even the rain wouldn’t stay
because all the embers were ignited by rage

I loved but I lost
and never knew why because
I built a cage, I built a cage
And I forgot how to escape

the words that came from a hum
