The Lyrics
You wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
You tied my lead and pulled my chain
To watch my blood begin t boil
But I’m gonna break I’m gonna break my
I’m gonna break my rusty cage and run
Yeah I’m gonna break I’m gonna break my
I’m gonna break my rusty cage and run
Too cold to start a fire
I’m burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
I’ll take the river down to still water and ride a pack of dogs
But I’m gonna break I’m gonna break my
I’m gonna break my rusty cage and run
Hit like a Phillips head into my brain
It’s gonna be too dark to sleep again
Cutting my teeth on bars and rusty chains
I’m gonna break my rusty cage and run
When the forest burns along the road
Like God’s eyes in my headlights
When the dogs are looking for their bones
And it’s raining ice picks on your steel shore
I’m gonna break I’m gonna break my
I’m gonna break my rusty cage and run
I’m gonna break I’m gonna break my
I’m gonna break my rusty cage and run
