Empty Cage

If my hands are stained, that does not make yours cleaner
If am weak, that does not make your stronger
Innocence is a myth
Superiority is a lie

The world seems a little clearer now as I rest my head
And close my eyes

I never feel like I belong
And I don't want to hate myself when I don't feel strong
I find it in myself to carry on, even when I feel alone

Promise lies heavy on my mind
But I can't see truth from lies
I search for hope in your eyes
Hope in my life

And freedom is what I hope to find
I search for peace of mind, so I might know myself
I lost you somewhere along the way
Maybe if we worked on today
Together we could put away our armor someday

And burn this empty cage

Nothing can be sure, and nothing here is pure
But still I look for answers and I lose myself in truth
When I find myself in dirt, will I find you?
I'm so in love with you
I'm finding things inside me I never knew

I am dirt, blowing out of control in the wind
Nothing more than dirt, nothing I feel could ever mean a thing

It sets me free, my empty cage
This heart of rage, it sets me free

This nothing is my... this nothing is my everything
Heavy on my mind, I rest my head, I close my eyes
I rest my head, I close my eyes
I rest my head, I close my eyes
