Rusty Cage Lyrics

[00:39.99] You wired me awake
[00:41.71] And hit me with a hand of broken nails
[00:46.87]
[00:49.04] You tied my lead and pulled my chain
[00:51.18] To watch my blood begin to boil
[00:56.06] But I'm gonna break
[00:59.02] I'm gonna break my
[01:00.72] I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
[01:05.39] Yeah, I'm gonna break
[01:08.19] I'm gonna break my
[01:10.61] I'm gonna break my rusty cage
[01:14.33]
[01:16.44] And run
[01:19.38]
[01:26.47] Too cold to start a fire
[01:29.27] I'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
[01:34.03]
[01:36.59] I'll take the river down to still water
[01:40.42] And ride a pack of dogs
[01:44.68] But I'm gonna break
[01:47.28] I'm gonna break my
[01:49.46] I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
[01:53.84] Yeah, I'm gonna break
[01:56.04] I'm gonna break my
[01:58.54] I'm gonna break my rusty cage
[02:04.97] And run
[02:08.35]
[02:17.56] Hits like a Phillips head into my brain
[02:21.52]
[02:26.09] It's gonna be too dark to sleep again
[02:31.15]
[02:36.38] Cutting my teeth on bars and rusty chains
[02:40.97]
[02:43.74] I'm gonna break my rusty cage
[02:47.14]
[02:49.87] And run
[02:52.92]
[03:11.00] When the forest burns along the road
[03:13.61]
[03:19.78] Like God's eyes in my headlights
[03:25.48]
[03:28.08] And when the dogs are looking for their bones
[03:33.19]
[03:36.61] And it's raining ice picks on your steel shore
[03:42.69]
[03:45.37] But I'm gonna break
[03:48.21] I'm gonna break my
[03:53.56] I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
[03:58.67]
[04:01.65] Well, I'm gonna break
[04:05.55] I'm gonna break my
[04:10.67] I'm gonna break my rusty cage
[04:17.88] And run
[04:20.29]
