Hide your rage deep inside your cage
But don't remain locked up forever
You've been used and abused for a lifetime
This lifeline, you must sever
Now watch the student become the fucking master
Watch your world become fucking disaster
You know it's only a matter of time
Before they're done with you
It's a fools game, only yourself to blame
Now when I look in your eyes
It just ain't the same
You're just a straw dog
Crushed by the apathy, decayed by the shame
Broke the foundation of trust
Burnt it all to dust, left to rust
You're just a straw dog
Crushed by the reality they don't know your name
These dogs will roam in a pack
And plan their deadly attack
And it ain't hard to see
These dogs are coming for me
Just like a man, and his desire
Trapped inside his guilt filled mind
This caged bird, this house on fire
Full of uncertainty
Beg for forgiveness
Beg for your soul
Slipped from your hands
Now you're losing control
When you broke this bond of trust
You burnt it all to dust, left to rust
Broke the foundation of trust
Burnt it all to dust, left to rust
