The Cage

Dark inside, walls all around me
Trapping the hatred within
Crumbling flesh gives me power to rise
As the weight of the world crushes thin
Choking, paralyzed
Drown in your wages of sin

What was innocent? Corrosion and descent
You borrowed, nothing spent
Illusion, misdirect
You're dying on the vine
You're malice well defined
Nothing left behind
You broke the ties that bind

Burn alive, never forgive
Devil inside, make me new
Approaching your fate, condemned to a future
Accept it when it comes to you
When it comes to you
To live in this cage

Dark inside, walls around me
Trapping the hatred within
Crumbling flesh gives me power to rise
As the weight of the world crushes thin
Word as law, callous and empty
Corroded and vicious and vain
Insatiable hunger, living a lie
A life in unbreakable chains
