Shaking Cages Songtext
von Silent Theory

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′t 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...

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


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...

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

Pull me in
The smoke is starting to fill my lungs
Drain me out
There's nothing left of who I was

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
