__________________________

i'd like to think that in my soul
there's a place that isn't cold
there's a smile it's upside down
on my lover it's on the ground
I'm an animal so i've been told
it's getting harder it's growing old
seeming real reality's fake
unlike the bars surrounding my cage
these metal bars these bars of steel
these bars are strong these bars are real
keeps me away from being what i want to be for you
it's where i sleep it's where i lay
it's where i kneel it's where i pray
it's where i think my thoughts of you and cry
it's where i decay it's where i die
it's like you it's where i clipped you
open wound and i can't re-stitch you

I can't re-stitch you i can't resist you
i cannot fix you or your broken heart
you can't re-stitch me you cannot fix me
you cannot change me you couldn't from the start

I'd like to think that in my heart
there's a place a world apart
there's a fire a hidden spark
somewhere in me somewhere dark
i'm an animal i need to roam
beyond the cage that i call home
beyond the bars beyond the steel
beyond the pain beyond the real
something old something bad
something borrowed something sad
keeps me away from doing what i really need to do
something lost something sound
something never ever found
far from the sun far from the moon
beyond the blood beyond the wound
beyond the thoughts of how i clipped you
open wound and i can't re-stitch you

I can't re-stitch you i can't resist you
i cannot fix you or your broken heart
you can't re-stitch me you cannot fix me
you cannot change me you couldn't from the start

it's like you it's where i clipped you
open wound and i can't re-stitch you

if you could learn how to live, you could stop the obsession
you could've made that girl feel like she was more than just a possession
if you could just see through this cloud of depression
that is the lesson.. that is the lesson.. that is the lesson..

it's like you it's where i clipped you
open wound and i can't re-stitch you
