[Verse 1]

                       Fig 1
The world is a vampire
Fig 1
Sent to drain
Fig 1
Secret destroyers
Fig 1
Hold you up to the flames
Fig 1
And what do I get
Fig 1
For my pain
Fig 1
Betrayed desires
              
And a piece of

           
 the game


[Pre-Chorus]

     
Even though I 

       
  know I suppo

      
se  I'll  show
     
All my cool an

       
d cold like ol

[Chorus]

            
Despite all my

            
 rage I am sti

in a cage
            
Despite all my

            
 rage I am sti

          
ll just a rat 

     
in a cage
            
Then someone w

            
ill say what i

          
s lost can nev

      
er be saved
            
Despite all my

           
 rage I am sti

          
ll just a rat 

           
in a cage


[Verse 2]

             Fig 1
Now I'm naked
Fig 1
Nothing but an animal
Fig 1
But can you fake it
Fig 1
For just one more show
Fig 1
And what do you want
Fig 1
I want a change
Fig 1
And what have you got
              
When you feel 

         
the same


[Pre-Chorus]

     
Even though I
