The world is a vampire sent to drain
Secret destroyers hold you up to the flames
And what do I get for my pain?
Betrayed desires and a piece of the game
Even though I know, I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold, like ol' Job
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved"
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I'm naked
Nothing but an animal
But can you fake it for just one more show?
And what do you want? I wanna change
What do you got when you feel the same?
Even though I know, I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold, like ol' Job
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Then, someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved"
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage!
