The Cage - Attrition

Pulling on my cigarette

A breath away from paradise

I’m sick to death of surrogates

Book me in with you tonight

I could pretend a little bit

I’d sooner add a second to the flame

I could pretend a little bit

Step into my cage

Into my cage

Sweeten the most bitter home

Bathing it in candlelight

Saccharine and methadone

A step away from suicide

Reminds me of a book I read

Step into my cage

Come in closer

Emptiness has come of age

All the way from blinding light

And gilded like a serenade

I’m never far from paralysed

Between a whisper and a rage

The other side of Heaven is the place

Between a whisper and a rage

Step into my cage

Step into my cage
