[Intro - vinyl crackle, sparse piano] Open it... I dare you... [Verse 1] Lock clicks soft in the dark Something wakes up, leaves a mark I was sweet once, I was sane Then they let the quiet off its chain [Pre-Chorus] Don't look at me like that, my love This is what you made me of [Chorus] It's a cage... of madness Slow turn of the key Open up the cage of madness And there's nothing left of me (nothing left of me) [Verse 2] Velvet hush, a wicked calm A bomb that hums a lullaby psalm I don't scream and I don't run I just smile till it comes undone [Pre-Chorus] Don't you reach for me, my dear The sweetest things should disappear [Chorus] It's a cage... of madness Slow turn of the key Open up the cage of madness And there's nothing left of me [Bridge - whispered over beat] Sane is a room I used to live in Madness is the door I left it through Come a little closer, darling Let me show you what I grew into [Outro] Cage... of madness... ...thank you for the key. [End]
