Cage On The Ground Lyrics - New Horizons - Flyleaf

Another dreamer steps onto the stage 

He sings his hope and his fear and his rage 

As the applause from the crowd start to fade 

He hears them swallow the key to his cage 

Welcome to the machine 

It's a currency generator 

And then it's a guillotine 

A mirror held up to your own behaviour 

I'm gonna take my bow 

And disappear into the sound 

I'm leaving my cage on the ground 

When I take my bow 

I'm watching it burn to the ground 

See my feet flying up through the clouds 

The dreamer dances inside of his cage 

All his music and words are the same 

But in the moment he exits the stage 

You hear him whisper a prayer for the flames 

Welcome to the machine 

It's a currency generator 

And then it's a guillotine 

A mirror held up to your own behaviour 

I'm gonna take my bow 

And disappear into the sound 

I'm leaving my cage on the ground 

When I take my bow 

I'm watching it burn to the ground 

See my feet flying up through the clouds 

When they distinguish your name 

It may extinguish your flame 

I'm gonna take my bow 

And disappear into the sound 

I'm leaving my cage on the ground 

When I take my bow 

I'm watching it burn to the ground 

See my feet flying up through the clouds 

One day distinguish your name (I'm leaving my cage on the ground) 

It may extinguish your flame (I'm leaving my cage on the ground) 

So trade those ashes for a crown
