lyrics

In his cage of steel, the engine gives motion
Is this the beginning or the end of his journey?
How would this stranger feel if he knew his end was near
Would he live his life or would he just worry?

Limitless possibilities, horizon calls
Ambition or wasted life, darkness falls

In her cage of concrete on the seventh floor
Washing dishes somberly, automated, hypnotised
Does she have a partner, close friends, family?
What does she dream when she closes her eyes

Edges of the atlas, white boundaries
Is life for living and creating memories
Is there passion for more or are they content?

Recharge with emptiness
My den with my voice
The tension, the pressure, I can't breathe

I want to be where I can live alone, no one to disagree
Fragility, the solitude I've known against a desire to be

Chorus:
My sanity requires a void, the safety of isolation
Society, something that I can't avoid, panic from anticipation
I don't know that I could ever go on, without these four walls around me
People below, it's like an open prison
If it wasn't for the world, I'd be free

Recharge with emptiness
My den with my voice
The outside is out there
This cage is my choice
The tension, the pressure, I can't breathe

In my cage of bricks, staring through the window
Maybe I should seize the day, but my solitude is my escape
