...Lie to me and make from lies a home
Take from me my bravery
limit me, then set me free,
to live inside the lines and live alone.

Audio:
Let me be a shadow so that you may go before
Steal the wind, may it no longer hold me
I'll forget the sky as sunsets fade
My eyes see black as night the truths you've told me
and the bloody dawn of morning falls away.
Give to me a cage to fill with comfort...
