Cages

I'm a broke-nose fighter

I'm a loose-lipped liar

Searching for the edge of darkness

But all I get is just tired

I went looking for attention

In all the wrong places

I was needing a redemption

And all I got was just cages

If I'm being real honest

I'm fighting uphill battles

I can't seem to find the right light

'Cause I've been living in the shadows

I went looking for attention

In all the wrong places

I was seeking recognition

But all I got was just cages

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Looking back on all the wreckage

All I see is their faces

How many hearts have I broken?

And tell me, are they still breaking?

I went looking for attention

In all the wrong places

I was needing a redemption

Get me out of these cages

Oh, I had a bright white dream

Oh, It was pulling on me

Oh, 'till I was almost dead

Oh, here in these cages

There's a window in this cage I'm in

I can see what kind of man that I've been

I'm in a prison for a man gone wrong

But I've found a future, this is not my home

We're a band of outsiders

Spend our whole life chasing

Trying to climb a little higher

But the high just faded

Went looking for attention

In all the wrong places

We were needing a redemption

All we got was just cages
