 The world is a vampire, sent to drain
 Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
 And what do I get, for my pain?
 Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

 Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
 All my cool and cold - like old job
Despite  all my rage  I  am still  just a rat  in a cage
Despite  all my rage  I  am still  just a rat  in a cage
Then  someone will say  what  is lost  can never  be saved
Despite  all my rage  I  am still  just a rat  in a cage
 Same as intro:
 Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
 But can you fake it, for just one more show?
 And what do you want?
 I want to change
 And what have you got, when you feel the same?
 Same as pre-chorus:
 Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
 All my cool and cold - like old job
Despite  all my rage  I  am still  just a rat  in a cage
Despite  all my rage  I  am still  just a rat  in a cage
Then  someone will say  what  is lost  can never  be saved
 ( )  x 4
 Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Tell  me I'm the only one
Tell  me there's  no other one
Jesus was the only son,  yeah.
Tell  me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was the only son for you
 No distortion
Despite  all my rage  I  am still  just a rat  in a cage
And  I still believe that I  cannot  be saved
  (Kick in the distrotion)
Despite all my  rage I  am still just  a rat  in a cage
Despite all  my rage  am I still  just a rat  in a-
Despite all  my rage  am I still  just a rat  in a-
Despite all  my rage  am I still  just a rat  in a cage
Tell  me I'm the only one
Tell  me there's  no other  one
Jesus was the only son
And  I still beleive  that  I cannot  be saved
