Caged Lyrics

Do you believe in me?

All matter coalesce under your hand

And can you hear the plea

Of a hundred voices if they're not like yours?

A mother's crying for her child

Unknown and stranded in the wild

I watch your fingers curling into a fist

Do you feel for the stars

When you still can't find your pulse

Like you're somebody else?

Forget and pretend

Like it's all ending soon

It's a tale as old as time

You get what's yours and I'll get mine

Collecting on eternity like a prize

I'm rattling the bars of my enclosure

My heart can't take a beat until it's over

I'm resolute again

I try, never learn

But I can't forget the words

Do you believe in me? (Do you believe in me?)

All life diminishing under your gaze

And now you pray me kneel (and now you pray me kneel)

As the author of your reality

I think I've seen this thing before

And chose to leave it at your door

And I can't stand to bow

My face to the floor

He can name all the stars

But he still can't see your face

And that's a losing game

I try, never learn

But I can't forget the word

I've never wept this way before

I'm not a person anymore

Decaying like an animal in the sun

I'm rattling the bars of my enclosure

My heart can't take a beat until it's over

I'm resolute again

I try, never learn

But I can't forget the word

Let it go

Someone told me

To let it go

But I can't let it pass over me

Like water in fiery sea

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't calm

Four walls a ceiling and a door

But something in me knows it's wrong

(But is that enough? It's adding up)

It's all made of metal bars
