The Cages are Empty

When the night sky settles in

We become the things that we hate,

The things we laughed at

But never wanted to be

And in the morning

We wake up to the fact that

We are nothing and the cycle will repeat itself

I break the seal and exhale (4x)

All this time on the surface

And now we’re coming up with an excuse to more

Calm down, I know tonight is hell

But in the end the stars will burn out

And all these memories will fade away

There comes a time

When we’ll draw the line

Are we the ones who’ll be stuck on the wrong side?

Or are we in the right?

We live our lives on the surface

And we’ll never look back

And if so I’ll wear these regrets

Like a ring around my neck

My mind is open

My eyes are closed

In the end it seems the death

Of self control was a

Murder, murder!

Murder, murder!

They look into the eyes

But they’re never gonna see

Murder, murder!

They look into the eyes

Everyone’s heart beats in syncopated rhythms

That my own could not begin to understand

But my eyes offer me a window

For me to recognize all that I am

I’m sick of breaking down my emotions

I downed a bottle, I grabbed a gun

And in the morning you won’t remember this song

The animals are out, they’re running through the streets (3x)

The animals are out!

Murder, murder!
