Over His Head

In a cage it stays the same
It doesn't bite, it takes the blame
It doesn't know what's happening
It never knows what's happening

Throw a blanket on the cage
When it's night, it's hard to gauge
It doesn't know what's happening
It never knows what's happening

Eyes are closed, the smell of fear
What is seen is all you hear
Couldn't see what's beckoning
Couldn't hear the reckoning

In a corner set a trap
Getting caught the lines were tapped
Couldn't see what's beckoning
Suddenly a reckoning

He's in over his head...

Put a mirror in the cage
It's just another game we play
It doesn't know what's happening
It never knows what's happening

Bite the hand that feeds the bark
Affidavit after dark
It doesn't know what's happening
It never knew what's happening

He's in over his head...

One to spare and one to save
The taking back of what you gave
One to stare and one to gaze
The best of times, the worst of days
In the range but out of phase
The best of days will come again, again...
