Sunset is an angel weeping
Holding out but he's sold
No matter how I squint I cannot

Make out what it's pointing toward
Sometimes you feel like you live too long
Days drip slowly on the page

You catch yourself, pacing the cage




I've proven who I am so many times
Magnetic strips worn in

And each time I was someone else
And everyone was taking it
Flowers chatter in hard places

Stir up ends in the darkest of rage
Send me to pace in the cage




I never knew what you all wanted

So I gave you everything
All that I can pillage
All the spells that I could see

It's as if the thing were written
In the constitution of the age
Sooner or later, you'll wind up pacing the cage





Sometimes the best map will not guide you
You can't see what's right again
Sometimes the road leads through dark places

Sometimes the darkness is your friend
Today these eyes ??
For the coming of the ??

Pacing the cage
Pacing the cage
