lyrics

You tried to ruin my life even though we had fun
you succeeded with many and some now are gone
so many years now I defended the game
justifying my every move and not feeling no shame
priding myself on not missing a beat
not admitting the next day I was feeling defeat
was I unconscious or was I right there
was it fun or destrutive? Just not being aware

Four decades later, I think of the day
I longed for my father who'd gone away
Upon a visit I noticed the cage
That he's remained in and there he has aged
I wonder if I am there as well?
and can I escape it? It's tough to tell
reality sets in, addiction is cruel
when it rears it's ugly head you feel like a fool

I never will forget that ice cold night
When I was stuck in traffic behind hundreds of lights
Trying to find my girl who lost her way
from years of drowning in her own pain.
The snow makes everything look exact
A deadly combo when her mind went black
trying to not let worry turn into rage
In my van at a stand still I was suddenly caged.
