on my way to the cage

I am getting taught a lesson

on my way to the cage

I am choking on the medicine

on my way to the cage

I am stepping hard on four leaf clovers

on my way to the cage

I'm learning the same thing over and over



on my way to the cage

the taste of blood is in my mouth

on my way to the cage

the fear is in their eyes

on my way to the cage

my animal blood is pure

on my way to the cage

no regrets and no last words



on my way to the cage

I heard the crowd roar

those of you alone behind me

I couldn't ask for more

the lights are almost blinding

come closer

tears open my eyes

and fear me and fear me



your soul is on a leash

your mind is on a string

your world's inside my fist

you put yourself above me

but there's something that you missed



you'll always say you'll hate me

but you'll watch me anyway

its a pain

you can't resist



on my way to the cage

I'm looking at life

and laughing at death

on my way to the cage

I'm tripping on pain and feeling fine

on my way to the cage

you're paying your price and I'm paying mine

on my way to the cage

I'm watching you cry and wave good-bye



on my way to the cage

I heard the crowd roar

those of you alone behind me

I couldn't ask for more

the lights are almost blinding

come closer

tears open my eyes

and fear me and fear me



your soul is on a leash

your mind is on a string

your world's inside my fist

you put yourself above me

but there's something that you missed



you'll always say you'll hate me

but you'll watch me anyway-
