lyrics

Caged up from the outside
Something moving within
I can sometimes see their faces
Swaying thin in the wind
I'm a dead man

Caged up from the outside
(Caged up from within)
Something moving within
(Something moving within)
I can sometimes see their faces swaying thin in the wind
I can sometimes see their faces
I think they're looking for me
(Yeah they're looking for me)
Out there burning their fires till I start to see
Yeah I saw the light

The preacher's missing
And you've been with him
I got a
Dead man

When I see you
Don't know what I really think
Fixed beneath you
Just trying not to sink
Right through the floor
Now I know
I'm a dead man

Slammed shut from the inside
Something moving within
I can almost hear them in the night
Think they brought some friends
I can sometimes see their faces
I think they're looking for me
(Yeah they're looking for me)
Out there burning their fires till I start to see

I got a rot in the brain
(The preacher's missing)
You were reared off a sunken name
(And you've been with him)
So I shout till I'm sane and right as rain
It was you
To blame

When I see you
Don't know what I really think
Fixed beneath you
My path begins to shrink
And now I'm stuck
Took census, they're gone away
Now I know
I'm a dead man

Two knocks from the outside
Nothing moving within
