stranger than madness the exile of night the slow steady turning of that lonely flight i gotta get up face the morning sweet daylight again surrender to knowing we re fated to pretend could it be could it be could it be that we are always somewhat close to breaking could it be could it be could it be that we re the birds in the cage just masquerading oh no body knows the way that i ve been hurting could it be could it be could it be that we are sitting up against at the same walls and that is crazy no no a stranger to sadness the air as it rests slow rise and falling on my beating chest if everything else turns to nothing then who s gonna know the way i adored you as i let you go as i let you go could it be could it be could it be that we are always somewhat close to breaking could it be could it be could it be that we re the birds in the cage just masquerading oh no body knows the way that i ve been hurting could it be could it be could it be that we are sitting up against at the same old and that is crazy no no
