Verse 1
Step
away
from
the
fading
light
The
cage
is
open
and
the
sky
is
bright.
Verse 1
Iron
rusts
on
the
engine
block
No
one
answers
when
the
shadows
knock
Quiet
corners
in
a
noisy
town
Keeping
secrets
till
the
sun
goes
down
ChorusOh,
the
silent
road
is
long
and
cold
Walking
away
from
the
stories
told
Build
a
castle
from
the
heavy
stone
Finding
power
when
you
stand
alone
Verse 2
Faded
ink
on
a
dusty
page
Stepping
out
of
a
gilded
cage
Midnight
coffee
in
a
broken
glass
Watching
all
of
the
hunters
pass
Bridge (
Spoken
word
over
a
building,
heavy
instrumental)
Being
the
anomaly
forces
you
to
build
your
own
foundation
from
scratch
You
realize
quickly
that
belonging
is
a
trap
if
it
costs
you
your
perspective
While
the
crowd
follows
the
map,
you
map
the
terrain.
While
they
ask
for
permission,
you
build
the
exit
You
hold
a
vision
that
leaves
you
entirely
isolated,
because
you
are
fixing
things
they
cannot
even
see
are
broken
There
is
no
inheritance
of
ease,
no
rescue
party,
and
no
guarantee
of
comfort
That
friction
is
exactly
what
shapes
your
focus,
your
endurance,
and
your
edge
You
do
not
run
on
applause
You
run
on
necessity
Eventually,
the
path
you
carved
alone
will
become
the
blueprint
for
everyone
who
follows
Outro
Step
away
from
the
fading
light
The
cage
is
open
and
the
sky
is
bright.
