So you feel good, feel lifted up 
On high above the rest of us 
So sure of all you know and how it goes now 
But wait there’s one more price to pay 
Your hope, your thoughts, the words you say 
No longer yours, not now 
They own you and that higher feeling you’ll never reach

I won’t agree to seeing my life sold to me 
Won’t trade away the weight of all these hopes I know I need 
And, so while you’re all along telling me I’m wrong 
I’ve gone beyond you to all you’ll never be 

And now you’re chasing down the lies 
Wishing for more, some other time 
When you’d live something more than this 
Still you wish for ways to break from all they gave you 
When you prayed for what to say 
No longer yours, not now 
They own you and that higher feeling you’ll never reach

I won’t agree to seeing my life sold to me 
Won’t trade away the weight of all these hopes I know I need 
And, so while you’re all along telling me I’m wrong 
I’ve gone beyond you to all you’ll never be 
Gone beyond you to all you’ll never be

One free of all but reason 
Asking me to need them, passionless you try 
But I am not that stupid 
So much more than what you’ve taken me for 
Not like you, I’ve gone through, I am free

I won’t agree to seeing my life sold to me 
Won’t trade away the weight of all these hopes I know I need 
And, so while you’re all along telling me I’m wrong 
I am still here without the fear that you showed to me 
Won’t trade away the weight of all of the hope that I know I need 
And, so while you’re all along telling me I’m wrong 
I’ve gone beyond you to all you’ll never be 
I have gone beyond you to all you’ll never be 
I have gone beyond you to all you’ll never be
