The Dying Embers of Life

As I'm gazing out across the empty shoreline
There are many questions running through my mind
As the waves caress the rocks upon my island
I count the days until I feel them on my skin

Have I become the very one
The very man I hoped I'd never have to meet?
Look at me now, I'm here somehow
And I'm surrounded by the weeping of the sea

This cage that I call my home
Never ceases to oppress my sorry soul
The dying embers of life in me are gone
As I lay here, growing older

As the night begins to fall and day is fading
Tormented by the flickering of city lights
But when I lay my mind to rest, I dream of freedom
I hope I never have to open up my eyes

The damage done, all hope is gone
This place was built for people never to escape
Beyond these walls lies everything
I ever wanted, but for now I'll have to wait

This cage that I call my home
Never ceases to oppress my sorry soul
The dying embers of life in me are gone
As I lay here, growing older

Whoa, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh

Whoa, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh

This cage that I call my home
Never ceases to oppress my sorry soul
The dying embers of life in me are gone
As I lay here, growing older
