They hold on to power
'Til it tears them apart
And no one ever noticed what's been plaguing their hearts
Cage door opened but no reason to leave
Still locked down, the chains are running deep

A moment to notice
A second to breathe
An instant to feel what the others can't see
But traded away, it's hard to believe
The things you'll never get back sold cheap

Well I'm beginning to know
I've got you in my sites
And all that's left tonight
Just look around and see
Then I will set you free

They take you to the alley, 4 a.m. the alley
Don't weep too soon, end's far away
You'll finally see what's plaguing me to find in you tonight
Back in the alley, 4 a.m. the alley
Well don't weep I'm not too far away
Don't leave now before you know the score
Say no more
