Birds in the Cage

Stranger than madness

The exile of night

The slow steady turning

Of that lonely flight

I gotta get up, face the morning

Sweet daylight again

Surrender to knowing

My fate it to pretend

Could it be, could it be, could it be that we are always somewhere close to breaking?

Could it be, could it be, could it be that we're the birds in the cage just masquerading?

Oh, nobody knows the way that I've been hurting

Could it be, could it be, could it be that we are sitting up against the same walls?

And that is crazy no more

A stranger in silence

The air's out of breath

The slow rise and falling

On my beating chest

Everything not such a bad thing

And who's gonna know?

The way I adored you

As I let you go

As I let you go

Could it be, could it be, could it be that we are always somewhere close to breaking?

Could it be, could it be, could it be that we're the birds in the cage just masquerading?

Oh, nobody knows the way that I've been hurting

Could it be, could it be, could it be that we are sitting up against the same walls?

And that is crazy no more
