Paper Rival - Pacing The Cage lyrics

rate me

Sunset is an angel weeping

Holding out a bloody sword.

No matter how I squint I cannot

Make out what it’s pointing toward

Sometimes you feel like you live too long

Days drip slowly on the page

You catch yourself pacing the cage

I’ve proven who I am so many times

The magnetic strip's worn thin

And each time I was someone else

And everyone was taken it

Powers chatter in high places

Stir up eddies in the dust of rage

Set me to pace in the cage

I never knew what you all wanted

So I gave you everything

All that I can pillage

All the spells that I could sing

It’s as if the thing were written

In the constitution of the age

Sooner or later, you’ll wind up pacing the cage

Sometimes the best map will not guide you

You can’t see what’s round the bend

Sometimes the road leads through dark places

Sometimes the darkness is your friend

Today these eyes scan bleached out land

For the coming of the out-bound stage

Pacing the cage

Pacing the cage
