Cat in a Cage Lyrics by Modern Sons

The Weird Years

2019

[Verse 1]
As a kid I started fires, and that would seem to you like a selfish desire to you, how many people do you think I really burned did I ever ever hurt you
I think back to the age 13, back back when things were so easy stuck in between trapped outside the city
Real danger was unknown eyes just curious about flame and smoke, not old enough to fathom the power I held in my hand
As a kid I started fires that would seem to you like a selfish desire to you
How many people do, you think I really burn did I ever ever hurt you
[Chorus]
Despite the reputation of surprise, you made me laugh I picked you up when you cried
Conscious effort so it seems, but it’s really so I won’t bleed
Oh how you deceived me, programmed to believe
Conscious effort so it seems, but I drown you in the roots
[Verse 2]
As a kid I started fires that would seem to you like a selfish desire to you, how many people do you think I really burned did I ever ever hurt you
Think back to the age of 20, all I wanted was to leave the scene and get away, dream devotions but drowned in urban pity
Get the red can pour it out, strike anywhere match from the kitchen now - It's out of control help me help me put it out
[Chorus]
Despite the reputation of surprise, you made me laugh I picked you up when you cried
Conscious effort so it seems, but it’s really so I won’t bleed
Oh how you deceived me, programmed to believe
Conscious effort so it seems, but I drown you in the roots
