lyrics

I've been chasing my sorrow with anger,
I've been chasing my worries with rage
But now all my friends have become strangers
And I'm living in a cage.
I'm living in a cage.

I've been running from the good in fear of evil,
I've been gunning for my own empty stage
But now I'm just another one of those boring angry people
And I'm living in a cage.

(CHORUS)
But I don't wanna be here anymore,
Trapped like a prisoner behind a locked door.
This isn't what I'm really about.
Can love bust me out?
Can love still bust me out?

I've been hiding my heart away from danger,
I've been packing a gun with a double gauge
But now I've got two too many rounds in the chamber
And I'm living in a cage.
I'm living in a cage.

I've been stuck in a loop of disappointments,
I've been stuck on the same old tired page
But now I'm stuck with the consequences of my choices
And I'm living in a cage.

(CHORUS)
