[Verse 1]
Sunset is an angel weeping
Holding out a bloody sword
No matter how I squint I cannot
Make out what it's pointing toward
Sometimes you feel like you've lived too long
Your days drip slowly on the page
You catch yourself
Pacing the cage
[Verse 2]
I've proven who I am so many times
The magnetic strip's worn thin
And each time that I was someone else
And everyone was taken in
Powers chatter in high places
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage
Set me to pacing the cage
[Verse 3]
I never knеw what you all wanted
So I gave you evеrything
All that I could pillage
All the spells that I could sing
It's as if the thing were written
In the constitution of the age
Sooner or later you will
Wind up pacing the cage
Sunset is an angel weeping
Holding out a bloody sword
No matter how I squint I cannot
Make out what it's pointing toward
Sometimes you feel like you've lived too long
Your days drip slowly on the page
You catch yourself
Pacing the cage
[Verse 2]
I've proven who I am so many times
The magnetic strip's worn thin
And each time that I was someone else
And everyone was taken in
Powers chatter in high places
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage
Set me to pacing the cage
[Verse 3]
I never knеw what you all wanted
So I gave you evеrything
All that I could pillage
All the spells that I could sing
It's as if the thing were written
In the constitution of the age
Sooner or later you will
Wind up pacing the cage
