CAGES by NEEDTOBREATHE Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I went looking for attention
In all the wrong places
I was needing a redemption
And all I got was just cages

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I went looking for attention
In all the wrong places
I was seeking recognition
But all I got was just cages
[Interlude]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 3]
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?

[Chorus]
I went looking for attention
In all the wrong places
I was needing a redemption
Get me out of these cages

[Bridge]
Ooh, I had a bright white dream
Ooh, It was pulling on me
Ooh, 'till I was almost dead
Ooh, here in these cages

[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
We're a band of outsiders
Spend our whole life chasin'
Trying to climb a little higher
But the high just faded

[Chorus]
Went looking for attention
In all the wrong places
We were needin' a redemption
All we got was just cages
