The Cage - Citizen Soldier

You, you are the cage

My crutch, my own worst enemy

You, you choose this hell

Blame everyone except yourself

You, you disobey

Lack all remorse, no empathy

You, don’t understand

Can’t see the blood that stains your hands

Abuse me

So beautifully

The darkest part of me

I’m gonna burn it to ashes, burn it to ashes

Let the fire cleanse me

Of all that my past is, I’ll burn it to ashes

Burn it to ashes

You, you want the throne

No matter how invisible

You, so cynical

Lost in a life, so fictional

You, you cheated me

You lied to keep me on my knees

You, now you won’t fool me

The mask is off, I’m finally free

Abuse me

So beautifully

The darkest part of me

I’m gonna burn it to ashes, burn it to ashes

Let the fire cleanse me

Of all that my past is, I’ll burn it to ashes

Burn it to ashes

So long I thought that my failure was justified

So long my sickness, my demons, romanticized

So long I let this self pity keep me paralyzed

Too long I’ve lived in this slow motion suicide

The darkest part of me

I’m gonna burn it to ashes, burn it to ashes

Let the fire cleanse me

Of all that my past is, I’ll burn it to ashes

Burn it to ashes

You, you are the cage

My crutch, my own worst enemy

You, you are the cage

My crutch, my own worst enemy
