[Verse 1]
Within the cage, there's no way to understand
Who makes the profit and who benefits from the scam
It’s not you, it's never been, it'll never be
You’re just the pawn that defends your own misery
[Chorus]
Rejected, despondent
Rejected, despondent
Expected to be a target
To be a target
[Verse 2]
You learn to cope by caving in, kneeling more
You praise your captor like only you can afford
Conservе the order as you celеbrate every chain
If you're not dying, then you might as well take the blame
[Chorus]
Rejected, despondent
Rejected, despondent
Expected to be a target
To be a target
[Bridge]
You wanna go, but you need somewhere to go
You wanna see, but you need something to see
You wanna score, but there's nothing here for you
You wanna feel, but there's nothing you can do
[Chorus]
Rejected, despondent
Expected to be a target
Rejected, despondent
Expected to be a target
To be a target
To be a target
