[Verse 1]
They put me in a cage to see what happens when
You put one in a cell without an escape plan
If I lose my mind before the first attempt
Oh, I'll never be free again
The walls are made of glass and they're hard as stone
Come on, take some pictures with your high-end phones
Give me all your love and share it with your friends
Oh, I'll never be free again
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I have all these dark dreams
They come down like concrete
For your entertainment
I'll name it to tame it
[Chorus]
So turn the lights off
I barely understand
What I know is all quicksand
As the rain blows through the curtains
I'm turnin' to set my eyes on you
Woke up next to you
I'll name it to tame it
[Verse 2]
I hear a million voices laughing indiscreet
It's how they enjoy the blood spilled on the screen
Hey man, I've washed my face, I've kept my costume clean
Oh, I'm not a part of the scene
But all I thought I knew has been turned upside down
I don't have a clue what it means to drown
And what I mean to you I never figure out
All the noise in here got way too loud
[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh) I have all these dark dreams
They come down like concrete
For your entertainment (Uh)
I'll name it to tame it
[Chorus]
So turn the lights off
I barely understand
What I know is all quicksand
As the rain blows through the curtains
I'm turnin' to set my eyes on you
Woke up next to you
To set my eyes on you
Woke up next to you
[Bridge]
We close a deal
In the ink-blue dawn
All is revealed now
We can't be harmed
Soon I am leavin'
Soon I'll be gone
I don't need reasons
To be alone
We close a deal
In the ink-blue dawn
All is revealed now
We can't be harmed
Soon I am leavin'
Soon I'll be gone
I don't need reasons
To be alone
We close a deal
In the ink-blue dawn
All is revealed now
We can't be harmed
Soon I am leavin'
Soon I'll be gone
I don't need reasons
To be alone
[Outro]
We close a deal
In the ink-blue dawn
All is revealed now
We can't be harmed
Soon I am leavin'
Soon I'll be gone
I don't need reasons
To be alone
