Shaking Cages

[Verse 1] I guess the way I feel is the way that I felt before High tide, salt in my cut, these are things that I can ignore But should I collapse in on myself like an iron core Don’t count me out just yet Just yet… I see a light on the horizon, this is do or die The rope I grip is ripping off my skin but I won’t let it take my life I know this is far more than I had bargained for I’ve lost that spark again But… [Chorus] I’m going to keep lighting fires ‘til someone finds us I’m sure it won’t be long now I’m going to keep shaking cages ‘til bars unbind us Only worry if there’s much of me left to bury [Verse 2] I never let it set in and I really underestimated All the decimated people living day to day And then it hit me like a truck I finally changed my limitations Trading mass assimilation for a better education As ignorant and devastated Well below my station flawed in every single way I hope I took my medication It’s upsetting I can see the overwhelming fascination Armageddon’s not the one you want But it’s the one you’re getting So break! This swell is stronger than it was before I’m still afloat for now Well… [Chorus] I’m going to keep lighting fires ‘til someone finds us I’m sure it won’t be long now I’m going to keep shaking cages ‘til bars unbind us Only worry if there’s much of me left to bury [Bridge] Pull me in The smoke is starting to fill my lungs Drain me out There’s nothing left of who I was [Chorus] I’m going to keep lighting fires ‘til someone finds us I’m sure it won’t be long now (It can’t be long now) And I’m going to keep shaking cages ‘til bars unbind us Only worry if there’s much of me left to bury
