Lyrics The Cage - Citizen Soldier

The Cage

You, you are the cage
My crutch, my own worst enemy
You, you choose this hell
Blame everyone except yourself
You, you disobey
Lack all remorse, no empathy
You, don’t understand
Can’t see the blood that stains your hands
Abuse me
So beautifully
The darkest part of me
I’m gonna burn it to ashes, burn it to ashes
Let the fire cleanse me
Of all that my past is, I’ll burn it to ashes
Burn it to ashes
You, you want the throne
No matter how invisible
You, so cynical
Lost in a life, so fictional
You, you cheated me
You lied to keep me on my knees
You, now you won’t fool me
The mask is off, I’m finally free
Abuse me
So beautifully
The darkest part of me
I’m gonna burn it to ashes, burn it to ashes
Let the fire cleanse me
Of all that my past is, I’ll burn it to ashes
Burn it to ashes
So long I thought that my failure was justified
So long my sickness, my demons, romanticized
So long I let this self pity keep me paralyzed
Too long I’ve lived in this slow motion suicide
The darkest part of me
I’m gonna burn it to ashes, burn it to ashes
Let the fire cleanse me
Of all that my past is, I’ll burn it to ashes
Burn it to ashes
You, you are the cage
My crutch, my own worst enemy
You, you are the cage
My crutch, my own worst enemy
