Needtobreathe - Cages lyrics

I’m a broke-nose fighter I’m a loose-lipped liar Searching for the edge of darkness But all I get is just tired I went looking for attention In all the wrong places I was needing a redemption And all I got was just cages If I’m being real honest I’m fighting uphill battles I can’t seem to find the right light ‘Cause I’ve been living in the shadows I went looking for attention In all the wrong places I was seeking recognition But all I got was just cages Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Looking back on all the wreckage All I see is their faces How many hearts have I broken? And tell me, are they still breaking? I went looking for attention In all the wrong places I was needing a redemption Get me out of these cages Ooh, I had a bright white dream Ooh, It was pulling on me Ooh, till I was almost dead Ooh, here in these cages There’s a window in this cage I’m in I can see what kind of man that I’ve been I’m in a prison for a man gone wrong But I’ve found a future, this is not my home We’re a band of outsiders Spend our whole lives chasin’ Trying to climb a little higher But the high just faded Went looking for attention In all the wrong places We were needin’ a redemption All we got was just cages
