This white blinding heat sends a shock down my spine
So just leave me be with my demons tonight
But you stay and you stray head in the line of fire
I can't protect you believe me I've tried
I'm Caged in what I am and what I was
This rage inside is tearing me apart
The pain I've caused weighs heavy on my mind
Still searching for the peace I hope to find
But I'm still Caged
I know how it looks but it's not all my fault
Repeating the tasks, expect different results
You can bury the past and move on if you try
Just burn the bones so the spirit can die
I'm Caged in what I am and what I was
This rage inside is tearing me apart
The pain I've caused weighs heavy on my mind
Still searching for the peace I hope to find
But I'm still Caged
Keep your dignity
Ignore the resentment inside
It will hold for another night
So turn the other cheek
Have you lost the will to fight?
I'm Caged in what I am and what I was
This rage inside is tearing me apart
The pain I've caused weighs heavy on my mind
Still searching for the peace I hope to find
But I'm still Caged
Biting my tongue till the blood and spit bind
Slipping for months but denying the signs
In a war not worth winning I'm leading the blind
To the Kingdom of fools where I'll lay down and die
