I've been held here in this cage
Tryna figure out what's going on
Wish I could keep this out of my mind
I've been a prisoner for far too long
And every time I try to let it go
Shake off the thoughts, and lose the desire
Even though I know it's forbidden
I tell myself
That I will plan every night, my escape
I will tell myself everything's okay
And I know if I leave, leave one day
I will break out free and find a way
What if I'm wrong, they all seem so happy
As if life can be beautiful
Everybody has their part to play
So maybe I should just play the game
And if I just start going along
Do all the things I'm supposed to do
Hopefully I'll find some satisfaction
This must be true
I will plan every night, my escape
I will tell myself everything's okay
And I know if I leave, leave one day
I will break out free and find a way
If I can get outta here quickly
Will I still have my life
I know that there is something
Better beyond this
And now that the time is right
To stop hiding in the dark of night
It's got to be tonight
And I've told myself
I have planned every night, my escape
And I've broken out now I've run away
And I know that I'm free, free today
I will just keep running, I'm on my way
