Man in the Cage by The Thought Lyrics
[Chorus: The Thought]
Sunsets, sunrise
Man in the cage don't see no lights
Know pain, no life
Stand in the shade, let it go by
Some days, combine
Hope it's just a phase that I don't cry
Slow brain bovine
Hope you find your path but I know mine
Sunsets, sunrise
Man in the cage don't see no lights
Know pain, no life
Stand in the shade, let it go by
Some days, combine
Hope it's just a phase that I don't cry
Slow brain bovine
Hope you find your path but I know mine
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
Stuck in the past, replaying my actions
Couldn't play the role I was acting, was wrongly casted
Said action, then I snapped to reaction
I'm barely present
I'm actually keepings tabs on some tabs
I'm tempted by acid, I'm hesitant
'Cause I know just where I been
I been on a bender akin to Bender, excessive gin
Screaming inside me, I cannot find me
I'm blinded since she's behind me
I'm finding I cannot do this, where's the end?
I'm looking at bottles of pills daily
Reminded that if choose I can end it, friend
All it takes is scheduling, thought 'bout it again and again
I'm home from 7 to 10, before you could meddle
I'd have the mettle and resolute, kin
Before you could get to the door, I'd overdose on the floor
Hoping that I could explore the other side if I died, I'd somehow get more?
There's got to be something better
Cuz I been over here and I can't stand the weather
[Bridge: Marcus Lee]
Tell me why it's always raining
Man I'm so sick of all the failing
The doors open but I stay in
What can I say? I'm comfortable when I'm caged in
Yeah, and I know I cannot stay here
It's just it's hard when you got a lot at stake here
Just don't wanna make a mistake here
I guess I'll lay here
[Chorus: The Thought]
Sunsets, sunrise
Man in the cage don't see no lights
Know pain, no life
Stand in the shade, let it go by
Some days, combine
Hope it's just a phase that I don't cry
Slow brain bovine
Hope you find your path but I know mine
[Verse: The Thought]
I been mashing down my path like an AWOL soldier
Lacking passion? Come to Jack, have my cold leftovers
I'm so brackish with my tap, like to keep a grain of salt
Interacting with the average got me staying in the vault
Any day I'll have my gaffe and the captions gonna scathe
Watch 'em put me on blast, rearrange my DNA
Y'all ain't heard me out, it's past due I get my say
But I'm quiet 'til I'm asked, I'm just the man in the cage
[Outro: The Thought]
I'm just the man in the cage
That's how I manage my rage (Sunsets)
Haven't planned to get a tan
I'm just gon' stand in my ways (Sunrise)
I'm just the man in the cage
A rubber band and a blade
And I ran from all my answers (Man in the cage)
Found an amp and a stage (Don't see no lights!)
I'm just the man in the cage
That's how I manage my rage
If my wages staying stagnant (Know pain)
I'm abandoning sage (No life)
I'm just the man in the cage
Banned from tandem decays
In my hands, it's running rampant (Stand in the shade)
Leave me stranded in haze (Let it go by!)
I'm just the man in the cage
That's how I manage my rage
I'm just the man in the cage
I'm just the man in the cage, man in the cage
Sunsets, sunrise
Man in the cage don't see no lights
Know pain, no life
Stand in the shade, let it go by
Some days, combine
Hope it's just a phase that I don't cry
Slow brain bovine
Hope you find your path but I know mine
Sunsets, sunrise
Man in the cage don't see no lights
Know pain, no life
Stand in the shade, let it go by
Some days, combine
Hope it's just a phase that I don't cry
Slow brain bovine
Hope you find your path but I know mine
