lyrics
Locked inside a birdcage
Try to break free
As the wires start to rust
The world around me passes by
(But I can't see straight, 'cause my mind won't stop)
Shouting words that never quite fit the tone
Lying wide awake in the night I'll try to think of a rhyme
(Don't try to force it, those empty gestures)
Full pages have never looked so empty
There's not long left the time bomb's set to blow
We're running out of time
So do your best kid, don't let that fire die it's getting weaker
But we've gotta stay alive
There's not long left the time bomb's set to blow
We're running out of time
The curtain's calling out to anyone who wants to be a rockstar
You'll have to tear right through me
There's no need to say that you didn't warn me
but I know that you're going to
I'll crack a joke to ease the tension
(The boat is sinking, and we're all treading)
To try and keep our heads up above the waves
Watching all the passers by, racing to their nine-to-five's
(Make that money money, ain't that kinda funny?)
The tide has rushed in and we're back on solid ground
(with our second wind)
There's not long left the time bomb's set to blow
We're running out of time
So do your best kid, don't let that fire die it's getting weaker
But we've gotta stay alive
There's not long left the time bomb's set to blow
We're running out of time
The curtain's calling out to anyone who wants to be a rockstar
You'll have to tear right through me
I'm gathering dust on the shelf
I guess it was for the best, this time
There's always room to improve, if life gets out of the way
The roots will burrow deeper, my mind might stand a chance
Don't worry you won't feel a thing, that hit called life's addictive
Come on baby, you feeling crazy
Just when the lights start to dim, I'll remember how you'd sing
Come on baby, come on baby
