Citizen Soldier
The Cage
[Verse 1]
You, you are the cage
My crutch
My own worst enemy
You, you choose this hell
Blame everyone except yourself
You, you disobey
Lack all remorse, no empathy
You don't understand
Can't see the blood
That stains your hands

[Pre-Chorus]
Abuse me
So beautifully

[Chorus]
The darkest part of me
I'm gonna burn it to ashes
Burn it to ashes
Let the fire cleanse me
Of all that my past is
I'll burn it to ashes
Burn it to ashes

[Verse 2]
You, you want the throne
No matter how invisible
You, so cynical
Lost in a life so fictional
You, you cheated me
You lied to keep me on my knees
You, now you won't fool me
The mask is off
I'm finally free
[Pre-Chorus]
Abuse me
So beautifully

[Chorus]
The darkest part of me
I'm gonna burn it to ashes
Burn it to ashes
Let the fire cleanse me
Of all that my past is
I'll burn it to ashes
Burn it to ashes

[Bridge]
So long I thought that my failure was justified
So long my sickness
My demons romanticized
So long I let this self pity keep me paralyzed
Too long I've lived in the slow motion suicide

[Chorus]
The darkest part of me
I'm gonna burn it to ashes
Burn it to ashes
Let the fire cleanse me
Of all that my past is
I'll burn it to ashes
Burn it to ashes
[Outro]
You, you are the cage
My crutch
My own worst enemy
You, you are the cage
My crutch
My own worst enemy
