These cages we build ourselves in have hollow walls
That crumble with our strongest threat and reveal the world
Like the first time opening your eyes
I'm asking you
Trace the stars to locate a reason
Discover the outcome; repeating cycles again
You clouded my brain
I can't see straight
I'm feeling trapped, locked, out of my own mind
Built from bones from a broken man
With a mother holding onto the image that I am
I learned to be this man on my own, dad
I never thought it'd be this hard alone
I never thought it'd be this hard alone
If you just drink the anecdote, father
I know that I'm poison to your skin
That's why you never came home again
Ash is what's left when the fire dies
And now that you keep coming
I can't stop from running
Your fingers wrapped around my throat
And I can't take much more
You said that we would be just fucking fine
We're not fucking fine
The distance between our bodies is the only thing that we can fix
I'll bring the sunrise
You put the moon back to rest
You clouded my brain
I can't see straight
I'm feeling trapped, locked, out of my own mind
Built from bones from a broken man
With a mother holding onto the image that I am
I learned to be this man on my own, dad
I never thought it'd be this hard alone.
