Tytuł: 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 live too long
   Days drip slowly on the page
   You catch yourself
   Pacing the cage
  
   I've proven who I am so many times
   The magnetic strip's worn thin
   And each time I was someone else
   And every one was taken in
   Hours chatter in high places
   Stir up eddies in the dust of rage
   Set me to pacing the cage
  
   I never knew what you all wanted
   So I gave you everything
   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'll wind up
   Pacing the cage
  
   Sometimes the best map will not guide you
   You can't see what's round the bend
   Sometimes the road leads through dark places
   Sometimes the darkness is your friend
   Today these eyes scan bleached-out land
   For the coming of the outbound stage.
   Pacing the cage.
   Pacing the cage.
