Lyrics

[Intro: Somber Piano, Rain Sounds, Spoken Word]
Yeah.
It’s like…
I know the way out.
I have the map.
So why do I keep driving off the cliff?
Look.
[Verse 1: Slow build, articulate, deep voice]
I look into the mirror and I hate the man I see there
Talking to the ceiling, asking "God, are You still up there?"
I say I want the light but I keep closing all the blinds
Locked inside a prison that I built inside my mind
I’m a hypocrite, yeah, put the title on my chest
Preaching peace to everybody while I’m failing every test
I say I’m battling the snakes, but I’m the one who feeds the pen
Say I’m done with all the dirt, then I dive right back in again.
It’s sick, right?
Knowing what is wrong and doing it regardless
Trading in my spirit for a moment in the darkness
I’m heavy, I’m burdened, I’m burning the bridges
I’m scratching the surface to bury the sickness.
[Chorus: Melodic, soaring, powerful, layered vocals]
Why do I run from the hands that could hold me?
Why do I trust in the lies that they sold me?
I’m digging a grave just to say that I’m deep
I’m selling my soul for a promise I can't keep
Oh, I’m begging for mercy, I’m begging for change
But I keep on walking right back to the cage.
(Right back to the cage)
[Verse 2: Double-time flow, aggressive, orchestral drums kick in]
(Yeah, look!)
It’s a war zone, mental, nothing accidental
I pull the trigger on my pride but the gun is instrumental
I’m trying to be holy but I’m full of holes, see?
The enemy is whispering, he thinks that he controls me
I got two wolves fighting, and the bad one is winning
I’m sick of the cycle, I’m sick of the sinning
I’m sick of the grimace, I’m sick of the image
I run the race but I collapse before the scrimmage!
Ah!
And I don’t want the fame, I just want the peace
I want the handcuffs off, I want the release
But every time I get a little close to the Throne
I feel the shadow creep up and it chills to the bone
Is it me? Is it them? Is it nature? Or nurture?
I’m the judge and the jury and I am the searcher.
[Bridge: Building tension, cinematic strings rising, almost screaming]
I can’t do this on my own! (No!)
I can’t move this stone alone! (No!)
I am weak! I am flawed! I am lost!
And I know what it cost!
Yeah, I know what it cost!
Take the pride! Take the greed! Take the lust!
Turn it all into dust!
Turn it all into dust!
I surrender!
[Chorus: High energy, full orchestra, emotional]
Why do I run from the hands that could hold me?
Why do I trust in the lies that they sold me?
I’m digging a grave just to say that I’m deep
I’m selling my soul for a promise I can't keep
Oh, I’m begging for mercy, I’m begging for change
But I keep on walking right back to the cage.
[Outro: Piano solo, soft, fading out]
Right back to the cage.
Yeah.
I’m tired of the cage.
Just… open the door.
Please.
[End]
