Been running in my cage all day
Chasing things I want to say to you
That's all I do
Words like embers, set the house ablaze
A quip, a lie, a turn of phrase from you
It's all you do
The price of power and desire
Is truth no longer true
Words of harm burn your bridges away
No one will jump into a fire
To rescue you from you
Words of harm burn your bridges away
No hint flickers in your eye
When your words of poison lie
It's true, oh so you
Got them running in circles all day
Fixing things that you say
Oh they do, all for you
The price of power and desire
Is truth no longer true
Words of harm burn your bridges away
No one will jump into a fire
To rescue you from you
Words of harm burn your bridges away
I see your future through a polygraph
Just a smudge on history's path
That's you, and all you'll do
I'm sitting here just waiting around
Gold to grey as the sun sinks down on you
Slow but true
The price of power and desire
Is truth no longer true
Words of harm burn your bridges away
No one will jump into a fire
To rescue you from you
Words of harm burn your bridges away
