Bullet With Butterfly Wings lyrics

The world is a vampire, sent to drain

Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames

And what do I get, for my pain?

Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

Even though I know - I suppose I'll show

All my cool and cold - like ol' job

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved."

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal

But can you fake it, for just one more show?

And what do you want?

I want to change

What have you got, when you feel the same?

Even though I know - I suppose I'll show

All my cool and cold - like ol' job

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved."

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one

Tell me there's no other one

Jesus was the only son, yeah

Tell me I'm the chosen one

Jesus was the only son, for you

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved."

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage, am I still just a rat in a-

Despite all my rage, am I still just a rat in a-

Despite all my rage, am I still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one

Tell me there's no other one

Jesus was the only son, for you

[x4]

And I still believe that I cannot be saved
