Verse 1

Fig 1
The world is a vampire
Fig 1
Sent to drain
Fig 1
Secret destroyers
Fig 1
Hold you up to the flames
Fig 1
And what do I get
Fig 1
For my pain
Fig 1
Betrayed desires
And a piece of the game  

Pre-Chorus

Even though I know I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold like old job   

Chorus

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
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage    

Verse 2

Fig 1
Now I'm naked
Fig 1
Nothing but an animal
Fig 1
But can you fake it
Fig 1
For just one more show
Fig 1
And what do you want
Fig 1
I want a change
Fig 1
And what have you got
When you feel the same  

Pre-Chorus

Even though I know I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold like old job   

Chorus

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
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved 
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Bridge

Tell me I'm the only one 
Tell me there's no other one 
Jesus was an only son 
Tell me I'm the chosen one 
Jesus was an only son for you  

Chorus

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
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage 

Chorus

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a
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 an only son for you   

Outro

And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
