The Cage

Pulling on my cigarette
A breath away from paradise
I’m sick to death of surrogates
Book me in with you tonight
I could pretend a little bit
I’d sooner add a second to the flame
I could pretend a little bit
Step into my cage
Into my cage
Sweeten the most bitter home
Bathing it in candlelight
Saccharine and methadone
A step away from suicide
Reminds me of a book I read
Step into my cage
Come in closer
Emptiness has come of age
All the way from blinding light
And gilded like a serenade
I’m never far from paralysed
Between a whisper and a rage
The other side of Heaven is the place
Between a whisper and a rage
Step into my cage
Step into my cage
