[Verse 1] The world is a vampire Sent to drain Secret destroyers Hold you up to the flames And what do I get For my pain? Betrayed desires And a piece of the game [Pre-Chorus] Even though I know I suppose I'll show All my cool and cold Like ol' Job [Chorus 1] Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage Someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved." Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage [Verse 2] Now I'm naked Nothing but an animal But can you fake it For just one more show? And what do you want? I wanna change What do you got When you feel the same? [Pre-Chorus] Even though I know I suppose I'll show All my cool and cold Like ol' Job [Chorus 2] Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage Then someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved."

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage! [Chorus 3] Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a… Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a… Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage [Bridge] Tell me I'm the only one Tell me there's no other one Jesus was an only son, for you [Outro] And I still believe that I cannot be saved And I still believe that I cannot be saved And I still believe that I cannot be saved And I still believe that I cannot be saved
