[Lyrics for Edmund Kemper – Cages]
As you walk away
You grieve with despair
For yourself
You’ve hurt everyone around you
And when you need them they’re not there
You can’t pretend to be who your not
When your mask falls down
They see what’s been underneath it
And then your world,
It crashes down
Have you seen yourself lately
Your not even there my friend
Your eyes are glazed over
With the thought of what they want you to be
You can’t sing them love songs
With the knife still in their back
You’ll never change for the better
Your lies only feed you
You can’t pretend to be who your not
When your mask falls down
They see what’s underneath it
You can’t pretend to be who your not
Have you seen yourself lately
Your not even there my friend
Your eyes are glazed over
With the thought
Of what they want you to be
As you walk away
You grieve with despair
For yourself
You’ve hurt everyone around you
And when you need them they’re not there
You can’t sing them love songs
With the knife still in there back
