Lyrics
They put me in a cage
To see what happens when
You put one in a cell
Without an escape plan
If I lose my mind
Before the first attempt
I’ll never be free again

The walls are made of glass
And they’re hard as stone
Come on take some pictures
With your high-end phones
Give me all your love
And share it with your friends
I’ll never be free again

I have all these dark dreams
They come down like concrete
For your entertainment
I’ll name it to tame it

Don’t turn the lights off
I barely understand
What I know
Is all quicksand
As the rain blows
Through the curtains
I am turning to set my eyes on you
Woke up next to you
I’ll name it to tame it

I hear a million voices
Laughing indiscreet
It’s how they enjoy
The blood spilled on the screen
Hey man, I've washed my face
I've kept my costume clean
I’m not a part of the scene

But all I thought I knew
Has been turned upside down
I don’t have a clue
What it means to drown
And what I mean to you
I’ll never figure out
All the noise in here got way too loud

We close a deal
In the ink-blue dawn
All is revealed now
We can’t be harmed

Soon I am leaving
Soon I’ll be gone
I don’t need reasons
To be alone
