Cages

Verse 1

Pacing through the hallway

Seeing shadows where the paint is peeling

Stalling

Thinking maybe I should stop the crawl

Tastes like copper in the back of my mouth

I am losing count of every single bad habit

Sinking

Feeling like a paper bag caught on a wire

Pre-Chorus

Just let it break

Just let it fall

Just let it go

Chorus

Wait for the storm to wash the grime away

Wait for the cold to make the marrow ache

Build a cage then find the exit sign

Screaming out for what was never mine

Give it all

Give it all back

Drop

Give it all

Back to the start

Verse 2

Lip biting

Looking for a logic I can actually follow

Maybe it's a symptom

Maybe it's a choice

Maybe it's the only way to feel alive

Tracing patterns on the kitchen tile while the clock stops

Bruised knees and a broken ego

Rushing

Better lock the door before the panic sets in

Pre-Chorus

Just let it break

Just let it fall

Just let it go

Chorus

Wait for the storm to wash the grime away

Wait for the cold to make the marrow ache

Build a cage then find the exit sign

Screaming out for what was never mine

Give it all

Give it all back

Drop

Give it all

Give it all back

Bridge

Underneath the surface is a shallow light

Pulsing through the marrow in a pale blue

Fighting for a second of the peace I lost

Pay the cost

Cut the frost

Total gloss

Everything is better when I finally let the pressure slip

Chorus

Wait for the storm to wash the grime away

Wait for the cold to make the marrow ache

Build a cage then find the exit sign

Screaming out for what was never mine

Give it all

Give it all back

Post-Chorus

All the way

Starting over today

All the way

Watching it decay

All the way

Finding my own way

Everything back
