Everything crashed
His wife left him
He lost all his money

And most of his friends
He lay awake all night
Lonely and desperate

Contemplating starting again

These chains are all your own

These chains are comfortable

Four in the morning

Sat in the kitchen
Keys on the table
Went out for a drive

He didn't know
Where he was going
Didn't know

If he was alive

The dawn was breaking

A new day was rising
Shadows creepin' over the fields
He watched the pink light

Steal across the horizon
He realised
He saw with new eyes


These chains are all your own
These chains are comfortable

This cage was never locked
Born free but scared to be
This cage was made for you

With care and constant attention
This cage is safe and warm
Will you die and never know what it's like

Outside
