I'm a loose-lipped liar
Searching for the edge of darkness
But all I get is just tired
I went looking for attention
In all the wrong places
I was needing a redemption
And all I got was just cages
If I'm being real honest
I'm fighting uphill battles
I can't seem to find the right light
'Cause I've been living in the shadows
I went looking for attention
In all the wrong places
I was seeking recognition
But all I got was just cages
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Looking back on all the wreckage
All I see is their faces
How many hearts have I broken?
And tell me, are they still breaking?
I went looking for attention
In all the wrong places
I was needing a redemption
Get me out of these cages
Oh, I had a bright white dream
Oh, It was pulling on me
Oh, 'till I was almost dead
Oh, here in these cages
There's a window in this cage I'm in
I can see what kind of man that I've been
I'm in a prison for a man gone wrong
But I've found a future, this is not my home
We're a band of outsiders
Spend our whole life chasing
Trying to climb a little higher
But the high just faded
Went looking for attention
In all the wrong places
We were needing a redemption
All we got was just cages
I'm a broke-nose fighter I'm a loose-lipped liar Searching for the edge of darkness But all I get is just tired I went looking for attention In all the wrong places I was needing a redemption And all I got was just cages If I'm being real honest I'm fighting uphill battles I can't seem to find the right light 'Cause I've been living in the shadows I went looking for attention In all the wrong places I was seeking recognition But all I got was just cages Oh, oh Oh, oh Looking back on all the wreckage All I see is their faces How many hearts have I broken? And tell me, are they still breaking? I went looking for attention In all the wrong places I was needing a redemption Get me out of these cages Oh, I had a bright white dream Oh, It was pulling on me Oh, 'till I was almost dead Oh, here in these cages There's a window in this cage I'm in I can see what kind of man that I've been I'm in a prison for a man gone wrong But I've found a future, this is not my home We're a band of outsiders Spend our whole life chasing Trying to climb a little higher But the high just faded Went looking for attention In all the wrong places We were needing a redemption All we got was just cages Explain Request ×
