I called you this morning
And you seemed happy enough
Though you never like to tell me
When things get rough
You were so upset last night
When I was talking to you
But when I try to help you out
I never really get through
I set the phone aside
We both went on with our day
But I hope you’re okay
I hope you’re okay
 
Everyone moves on
But you’ve been here forever
The isolation kills you
But you think it’s better
You abuse yourself
And think you won't get past this stage
You’re just a prisoner
Inside a skinny cage
 
When you’re lying to my face
I can see right through you
You don’t want me to worry
But I’m afraid I have to
You never were comfortable
Inside your own skin, were you?
I see it in your eyes
You feel like nothing, don’t you?
 
Everyone moves on
But you’ve been here forever
The isolation kills you
But you think it’s better
You abuse yourself
And think you won't get past this stage
You’re just a prisoner
Inside a skinny cage

I agree with aVeryThoughtfulBeing. It really is beautiful. I can relate to it in both perspectives, the one watching this person destroying themselves, and the one who is destroying themselves. I really love the chorus. My favorite verse is probably the first. Besides the chorus, I can relate to that the most. I like the right amount of repetition, and the rhyme scheme, it really works for this song. Overall, I really like it.

This was beautiful and I see nothing wrong with it. A neat thing about the perspective is that someone can read it and take from it as the person that feels empty, or take something from it as the one who is watching and worried for the other. Great rhyme scheme, I really liked the chorus, and just the right dose of repetition. Needless to say it was... splendiferous. Yeah that.

Hey Razcoon!
I really enjoyed this! I can almost imagine it being played on the radio (of course, I don't know the tune). As a song, these lyrics are short and touching - very poetic. I liked the chorus a lot and felt like the person was frustrated with the person who was "a prisoner inside a skinny cage". In the third verse (I don't know why) the lyrics (in my head) turned into a bit of a rap song, I don't know if this was intentional but it happened.
Overall, I think this has a bit of potential.
Keep writing!

Thanks!

Also, you're right, I am frustrated with this person, haha.
