From the recording Aporia's Bane
Lyrics
IRON CAGE
Words & Music by Lazywall
You're in a cage but you are awake
You start to move, I can feel the quake
You think it’s time now you see a crack
I’m terrified cuz you’re in the dark
Anxiety’s strangling your neck
You’re bending too much someday you will break
The fire’s bleeding lava through your nose
You burning all this anger just because
Dad : « I decide what is best » / Son : « I decide what is best !»
Dad : « what we think we become » / Son : «what you think I become »
Dad : « our fears, our enemies » / Son : « I face your enemies »
Are you ready for this?
Why in our abilities we go away and disagree
It's time for you to learn to write, it's time to face the truth insight
Cuz no one else's drive should turn unless you know that we can burn
No one is down, no one is gone, I'll watch how you will march alone
Your daddy ‘s selling the rope with which
you will hang him in the air you breathe
Your marching bands singing out of tune
His hammerfists are ready to impugn
Dad : « I decide what is best » / Son : « I decide what is best !»
Dad : « what we think we become » / Son : «what you think I become »
Dad : « our fears, our enemies » / Son : « I face your enemies »
Are you ready for this?
CHORUS
like the autumn leaves have fell, and it doesn’t mean it’s hell
I awake, with a grenade in my hand
then you smile cuz you’re not afraid to die
The flames are killing me, to understand a word of this
to those it may concern, I’m giving you this hourglass
monkey see & monkey
Insanity, afraid of me
You gotta break this iron cage, so come what may
Your fears create all your enemies
You’re breaking something
CHORUS
