adrian whitehead - gilded cage lyrics

[verse 1]
i saw the light and fell out of bed across the sp-ce where you slept when you slept
a step outside and its all on show this actor’s life is all i know yeah its all i know
and if i play my part well the world would never know
just smile and h-llo they come and go without a question
a wink at my reflection those flattered imperfections
just pretend just pretend just pretend

[chorus]
but then i woke up with wide eyes here in the sunrise i see right through you
the mirror’s made a gilded cage
and traded its old way to satisfy a reflection to make you happy
but the mirror lied again, thank god its over

[verse 2]
she was always a little too smart a little too tall a little too far
but little by little with the grace of a shovel she gave me a part
and if i rehe-rs-d and rehe-rs-d my show and crept like a nurse not to steal her glow
i could bath in her light and take my place in the gallery row
and if i played my part well the girl would never know
just smile and h-llo we come and go without a question
it takes a time to realise we’re not ourselves at all
we just pretend just pretend just pretend

[chorus]
but then i woke up with wide eyes here in the sunrise i see right through you
the mirror’s made a gilded cage
and traded its old ways to satisfy a reflection to make you happy
the mirror tried but could not change
and woke up with wide eyes here in the sunrise i see right through you
the mirror’s made a gilded cage
and traded its old way to satisfy a reflection to make you happy
but the mirror lied again, thank god its over
