Cages

Deas Vail

I can't stand the mechanical breath
And I'm scared I could slowly love you to death
I can never let go
On and on we are counting the formulas
We've become the modern equation
The numbers of hope
And I won't feed us lies here
They're not giving us much time

I'd give anything to make it better
Baby, this is something I can't change
Oh, this silence could go on forever
Am I walking with you in your dreams?

These metaphors for conditions and phobias
We'll pretend that we can explain but we know we don't know
We can't be led by fear, dear

I'd give anything to make it better
Baby, this is something I can't change
Oh, this silence could go on forever
Am I walking with you in your dreams tonight?

I'd give anything to make it better
Baby, this is something I can't change
Oh, this silence could go on forever
Am I walking with you in your dreams?

Hello, hello, can you hear me?
(I'd give anything to make it better)
Can you show me that you understand?
(Baby, this is something I can't change)
Hello, hello, can you hear me?
(Oh, this silence could go on forever)
Can you show me that you understand?
(Am I walking with you in your dreams?)

We thought we had it all figured out
But we don't know the half of it
But somebody will come and save us all
And somebody will come and let us all
Let us out of our cages
