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
