Thoughts in my ashtray Succumbed to my desire I'll paint this place With the colors of my pride I'm taking up your space Sipping my last wine Walking in slow pace I fear the height I can feel the earth move When I lay my head on the ground There's dust in my shoes I'm tired of being pushed around I know you get me A lot of pills with different names I know you can see I tie my arms close to feel safe What am I complaining about? Don't put words in my mouth I ain't got nothing else to gain I can't figure this out My head is a haunted house I hate to see it go to waste Unrealistic expectations Unforeseen complications We are birds in cage With trimmed wings So delicate Bend until we break A downright lie Demystified Is there a rescue? Is there a price to someone's rights? The smell of fire Keeps burning me alive A convenient excuse For those who obey and bow We made the wrong move When we sacrificed the pawn What am I complaining about? Don't put words in my mouth I ain't got nothing else to gain I can't figure this out My head is a haunted house I hate to see it go to waste We are birds in cage With trimmed wings So delicate Bend until we break A downright lie Demystified We are kings without a crown In a broken state With empty plates The hunger taste Can you bring us down? We've reached the clouds We are birds in cage Bending until we break With an empty plates The hunger taste The longer it takes
