Oh, the fire rages
Questions overflowing
All my dreams are kept in cages
Always say I can be who I want to be
These are words spun through the ages
Lies meant to bring feelings of safety
Bringing false hope to the truely courageous

actualy this is about how like teachers and other people like that say that i cant do what ever i set my mind to, and there are people that beleive that and they set out to lets say... be an fighter jet pilot and they end up getting their dreams boken because they cant do it. i know i cant do what ever i want to, i will never be an astronaught, i will never be the CEO of facebook, and i will NEVER be a renowned singer.

So...you're depicting false courage as a fire. A fire that is not a wildfire, but a controlled one -- meant to destroy and conquer, but soon extinguished. And since this type of 'fire' will always cease to exist, you are saying that the hearts of the people who depend on it only strive on a false purpose. At least, that's how I analyze it.
Anyways, 4/5.
