Cages

Trapped in cycles spinning fast A race we run that cannot last The hands keep moving never still we work 'till death and write our will Chained to clocks we chase the prize A hollow dream a web of lies The wheel turns on it grinds our bones We scream for freedom but die alone The hourglass is filled with dust We trade our time for a bill we trust Cages built from fear and greed (Cages built from fear and greed) We run in circles never freed (set me free) Eyes go blind the path's unclear Escape is close yet never near Step by step we break we crawl No one can rise we're doomed to fall The promise fades the light's a fraud We're rats who pray to a paper god They tell us run they tell us strive But they don't care if we survive Round and round the wheel still spins A race of losers no one wins Tear it down the walls the chain Or live and die in endless pain Cages built from fear and greed We run in circles never freed Eyes go blind the path's unclear Escape is close yet never near We chase the prize we run the race But all we do is loose ourselves The wheel keeps turning grinding fate A race they built we can't escape We cry for freedom but find despair Caught in a trap forever there A race they built we can't escape Forever there A race they built we can't escape Forever there A race they built we can't escape We cry for freedom but find despair Caught in a trap forever there
