Bird in a cage, lock it up and forget about it Saving yourself, an excuse for your nihilism Free from the bind, your existence is still a prison Bird in a cage, lock it up Cross every threshold I'll just stare down, you won't look away I'll run at any second Break it down, fade away, repeat it I can't swallow hope Retract my solace, I can't stand the fray I'll separate everything So I'm running to drown in something new This breath won't start again I'm so damn sorry, this was never (when it's over now) My plan (nothing's left for you here) As the Sun sets Your ember still burns Bite your tongue, make sure this is what you want It's over, I'm over the way that you lie straight through your teeth I'm overcome by the way you choose to speak It's over, I'm over the words that will take a part of me It's the last time Oh, God! When it's over, nothing's left for I can't stand there Knowing that you'll still care Please, don't stop me My conscience still Can't quell this storm It's over, talk to me Why can't I break the cage? Escape my heart Ready, set, run away Oh, my hollow chest Don't forsake me Think of what we had Would you follow me back to there? Look at what you caused Would you take it all back when I go? When I go, would you follow me back to the place that this all started? (I never wanted to know) When I go, would you follow me back to the place that we once haunted? That I've been set up to fall Fall Take back your safety, I don't deserve your grace Take back your safety, your embrace Take back your safety, I don't deserve your grace Please, don't let me go Stay still, bird in a cage You're so safe Stay still, bird in a cage You're in my heart Brace the storm Within myself
