[Verse 1]

The burning lumber spit embers as if to say

“Let’s get out of this fucking pit”

Pining for the surprise of pale giants miles off

The quiet churn of flame

A sound somewhere between

A whisper and a distant roar

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I’ve always wanted that warmth

But if that’s the cost

Love, forgive me for saying this

But I’ll pay it

Please don’t ask me to, because I will

[Chorus]

Feed me your wounds

Feed me your past

And I shall burn this cage, burn this cage

That ye may stand

Leave it all behind

Leave it all behind, leave it all behind

[Verse 2]

I obliged

In the blaze, I found my tears

But The Fire dried them up and warmed my heart

In that moment I was my name

The Fire spoke, “I need you, my witness”

Showed me a joyous ocean and how I am to lift it

Said “Chin up, don’t quit, kid”

Then we laughed in rhythm, the going gets tough

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Lay my fear in a bed of broken chains

Sing victory by day

Then night falls

To a bed of knives I crawl

And I let the demons hurt me

But I tell them

[Chorus]

“Feed me your wounds

Feed me your past

And I shall burn this cage, burn this cage

That we may stand, oh”

[Verse 3]

In the purr and crackling

I heard The Blaze

Speak my name

And It spoke my words, spoke my words

As It said

“Leave it all behind

Leave it all behind, oh”

[Chorus]

Feed me your wounds

Feed me your wounds

And I shall burn it, I shall burn this cage

Burn this cage that we

Feed me your wounds

Feed me your wounds

And I shall burn it, I shall burn
