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
