RetroSync| The Gilded Cage | Music Video Tribute

In the mansion by the bay Where the sea air chills the bone A boy's heart made of clay By a sculptor overthrown She wore a green dress A color to deceive A promise in her eyes that he

Every glance a gentle chain He was fueled to her cold fire Through the pleasure and the pain Oh, the gilded cage With its locks of emerald green A love story on a page

That was never meant to be She taught him how to love Then left him with the ache A masterpiece of ruin For her own sweet crusade He traded the river's mud

He chased the ghost of her smile through the city's hollow gleam A broken boy, a fool, caught in a wealthy feat

Every choice was leading back To the moment he was gone Lost in a past he couldn't track Always searching for the dark

With the ache A masterpiece of ruin For her own sweet

I saw the light in your eyes But it was just a flame A flicker in the dark Where you never spoke my name I waited for the rain To wash away the light But the tears never fell

And I'm still inside
