Inside a cage
I can love you when I sleep
cause I am a beast
and some things
they should not be.
I tell you when I wake
that I want to be free
because there is no beast
when you’re looking at me

I walk these streets at night
pretending they're not my bed
I will not hide myself
from all the blood I've shed
They still look in awe
when I bleed blue instead of red
for I am a zombie
but to me you all are dead.

Here's the truth
behind every little lie
you can run
but some of us can never hide
I know it's not much
but all that I can say
is “we can watch the stars
until they all fall away”
I don't know tomorrow
and I don't know today
I just know I crawl on my belly
and on my belly I shall stay

Inside a cage
I can love you when I sleep
cause I am a beast
and some things
they should not be.
I tell you when I wake
that I want to be free
because there is no beast
when you’re looking at me

Remember the children?
Yeah all those little fates
running in grass
like they had food on their plates
It's hard to fight nature
when you know you're a force of it
it's been a long road
but I still don't give an inch
I'm sorry father
but your son is not here
he fell from heaven
though he did not disappear
Now he looks into our eyes
and says he will save us.
Then he burns away our bodies
and says you have replaced us

So now we hide under covers
and you cover up the pain
we hide beneath our sheets
and you hide beneath the shame
you hide above the clouds
so the rain we shall blame
Tell me that you love me
as the life begins to drain
I know you said forever
but what about today?
If I had a second chance
to be free from the pain
I would say “I would”
but a liar I remain

Inside a cage
I can love you when I sleep
cause I am a beast
and some things
they should not be.
I tell you when I wake
that I want to be free
because there is no beast
when you’re looking at me

I'm so sorry
that I let go
I got sick
from the antidote
It was a picture of happy home,
a picture that I've never known.
