Lyrics:
the world is a vampire, sent to drain secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames and what do i get, for my pain betrayed desires, and a piece of game
even though i know-i suppose i'll show all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage then someone will say what is lost can never be saved despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
now i'm naked, nothing but an animal but can you fake it, for just one more show and what do you want, i want to change and what have you got when you feel the same
even though i know-i suppose i'll show all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage then someone will say what is lost can never be saved despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
tell me i'm the only one tell me there's no other one jesus was an only son tell me i'm the chosen one jesus was an only son for you
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage and i still believe that i cannot be saved
