Tell me I'm free to run with my tied feet

So when I fall you can coax me with sympathy

Force failure down my throat until I feel guilty



Weaken my will by limiting what I can do

What I can say and how to be

Want me to compromise

Want me to fall in line



I tried surrender

But I had to let go

Rise in revolt

Resist the fear I was being sold



I freed myself from your divine delusion

Chains of guilt that were enslaving me

Put a veil over my eyes, debt myself to a sacrifice

I have to blind myself to believe



Tell me to fly but there's a ceiling

Cage me in and say that I can't leave

Drag me through the dirt so you can clean me



But I won't surrender to

The cold hand trying to silence me

Make me follow a concept

A mouth that doesn't speak

Slanted the truth and expected me not to see



The warped reality that breeds bigotry and ignorance

Trades equality for kneeling at an empty throne



Forfeit control to none

The warped reality

Forfeit control to none

Kneeling at an empty throne

Forfeit control to none

The warped reality that breeds bigotry and ignorance

Trades equality for kneeling at an empty throne



Forfeit control to none

I had to let go

Rise in revolt

Resist the fear I was sold



I freed myself from your divine delusion

Chains of guilt that were enslaving me

Put a veil over my eyes, debt myself to a sacrifice

I have to blind myself to believe
