lyrics

You think you're free
Until you try to live
And then you realize you're chained to the wall
You become terrified
Cause in your captor's eyes
You see a premonition that you're gonna fall

But a cage can feel like home
As long as you're not alone, alone

I tried to steal the key ring
While you were sleeping
But I made too much noise and you awoke
Then you came in mopin'
Left the door wide open
For a moment I thought that there might be hope

But then I remembered
That love's forever
I'm sure how the spell could ere be broke
Could ere be broke

Sometimes you'd come in breezy
Unchain me freely
But still I couldn't find the will to go
I'd tell you that I love
And you'd say it too
I'm laughing but I still don't get the joke

I tore a page from my own book
And I'm afraid to take a look
Cause I'm in this chapter
I love my captor
Some how the phone rings when it's off the hook

I think I need a rest
So I suggest
That you forget the chain
And instead just use the rope
But still the ties are binding
My mind's unwinding
I wish someone could tell me how to cope

But a cage can feel like home
As long as you're not alone
And the chains can set you free
When a prisoner is what you wish to be
But that's not me
