The Cage 歌詞

Dogmas put on podiums Swallow blind the bait Prime-time advertised, prostitution In darkness we hibernate Depravity will take human form Let self-destruction be the norm We will not know the end We will all be numb by then Collective destructive behaviour Precise and clean self-mutilation Soft skin, hardened surgical scars Methadone addiction Recreational narcotics Balanced and controlled No reflection in the mirror The cage inside us all Apathy, the sharpest weapon A respect built on abuse So thin, so transparent Brought up on diet truth Painted up in weekend bliss So afraid of what we might miss Comfort or freedom, you can't have both Sharpen the knives, go for their throats Collective destructive behaviour Precise and clean self-mutilation Soft skin, hardened surgical scars Methadone addiction Recreational narcotics Balanced and controlled No reflection in the mirror The cage inside us all Apathy, the sharpest weapon A respect built on abuse So thin, so transparent Brought up on diet truth The longer we dwell on in silence The less that we question ourselves The next generation, our children Will have no rights left to protect. Collective destructive behaviour Precise and clean self-mutilation Soft skin, hardened surgical scars Methadone addiction Recreational narcotics Balanced and controlled No reflection in the mirror Unseen, expendable The cage inside us all
