Backstory:

Scornful Basket was formed in the bustling city of Boston in the early 2000s, when four high school friends found common ground in their shared love for music. The name ‘Scornful Basket’ was a playful jab at their high school basketball team, which had rejected all four members due to their lack of athleticism. The band began as a garage practice, then started performing at local gigs, and quickly gained popularity due to their unique sound and raw energy. Their road to fame was not easy, but their shared passion for music and their unwavering determination saw them through.

The four band members include lead vocalist and guitarist Jack Davis, bass guitarist Alex Smith, drummer Jason Collins, and keyboardist and backing vocalist Ethan Williams. Jack’s soulful vocals, combined with the raw talents of Alex, Jason, and Ethan, have captivated audiences, making Scornful Basket a household name in the Boston music scene.

“Cage of Shadows”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[A]Walking down the [D]lonely street, [G]heart is skipping a[D] beat
[A]Darling, where did [D]we lose our [G]way, in this [D]cage of shadows?
[A]Remember when we [D]used to laugh, [G]now it’s just a [D]photograph
[A]Stuck in our [D]own memory [G]lane, in this [D]cage of shadows

(Chorus)
[D]In this cage of shadows, [A]lost in the echoes
[G]We’re just two hearts, [D]fading away
[D]In this cage of shadows, [A]love’s a battled field
[G]We’re just two souls, [D]losing the day

(Verse 2)
[A]Underneath the [D]starry sky, [G]our dreams used to [D]fly
[A]Now it’s all [D]gone astray, in this [G]cage of shadows
[A]Remember when we [D]used to dream, [G]now it’s just a [D]broken theme
[A]Trapped in a [D]web of [G]decay, in this [D]cage of shadows

(Chorus)
[D]In this cage of shadows, [A]lost in the echoes
[G]We’re just two hearts, [D]fading away
[D]In this cage of shadows, [A]love’s a battlefield
[G]We’re just two souls, [D]losing the day

(Outro)
[A]In this cage of [D]shadows, [G]we lost our [D]way
[A]In this cage of [D]shadows, [G]we lost our [D]day
