Текст песни The Zoo - Zach

The hint of green is enough to excite my feet
Rapidly into motion
Wind rippling thru my fur for a moment I feel alive
The thrill dies in a few short strides
As Im met with bars, a gate, a fence, a wall
A trap I cant seem to escape

Taken away so long ago
Faint memories it wasn't always this way
People come and people go
The cages are in my eyes
Theres a way the breeze blows
That tugs on my dreams
Puts the back of my mind
On speed dial

Was ever a forest beyond the wall
Something louder than the running faucet's call
The pull towards who you want me to be is strong
But trapped is not where I belong

Déjà vu every damn day
My life defined, enclosed, by the men who built
My narrow bars
Selling tickets so children could see the sad remnants
Of my caged life

I never learned the stories told
The ancient paths thru ancient homes
Huckleberry dances on the rain
But never grows here in the shade

Was ever a forest beyond the wall
Something louder than the running faucet's call
The pull towards who you want me to be is strong
But trapped is not where I belong

I pace in desperation
My life reduced to redundant circles
Never leading me anywhere
My body knows, despite the illusion of comfort
That being trapped is not where I belong

There are no ghosts besides my open eyes
Free to roam just not outside
Always faces scheduled lives
One song to sing but something's just not right

How long does it take to wipe
The cage from your eyes
How long does it take to wipe
The cage from your eyes
How long does it take to wipe
The cage from your eyes
How long does it take to wipe
The cage from your eyes

Was ever a forest beyond the wall
Something louder than the running faucet's call
The pull towards who you want me to be is strong
But trapped is not where I belong
Trapped is not where i belong
Trapped is not where i belong
Trapped is not where i belong
