I got a plan for my demons,
I'm gonna meet them in the morning
We'll televise it like a prize fight,
they'll never know the fix of sin
I'll take a fall in the first round,
get my lips bled, landin' face down
Never bet against your sin
I got a plan for my best friends,
I'm gonna tell them that I'm leaving
Packing up all my loose ends,
with a suitcase and guitar
I always make it to the taxi,
with my bags packed in the backseat
But I never get to fly
From that lonesome feeling
of a hollow chest
The cage is empty, all the songbirds left
The credit's rolling,
all the screen went dark
An d I lost my heart
I've been putting on a brave face
when I say grace every evening
Holding faith like a hostage
till I lost it one night
Now I'm kneeling at the bedside
with the shades drawn in my hand style
No, it never takes long
That lonesome feeling of a hollow chest
The cage is empty, all the songbirds left
The the wolves are waiting for me,
so do my heart
And I lost my heart
And I lost my heart
I cut a hole in the window
where my dreams go in the morning
I settle down on the sidewalk
like a fine chalk dust
But still my lover's having nightmares
And she lies there right beside me
But she's never far enough
That lonesome feeling of a hollow chest
The cage is empty,
all the sunburn's left
Don't you worry, don't you lose your heart
I will sing that part
I will sing that part
I will sing that part you
