Gilded Cage

N.C. I walk alone, the night wears a shadow Painted in silver, painted in gold The moment ends in silence, then the moment grows old N.C. And when she smiles, a thousand dreams surround her Dress them in secrets no one can hold The fire dies in the distance, as the embers grow cold Sing for me now All the world is a stage Smile, take a bow From your gilded cage N.C. Behind the glass, she's safe where no one can reach her Roses with thorns just make her bleed A fragile porcelain angel breaks so easily Sing for me now All the world is a stage Smile, take a bow From your gilded cage N.C. The restless heart cries when no one is listening She's waiting for someone, waiting for you To want, love and need her, to help her make it through As the moment grows old in her gilded cage
