From the recording Wicked
Lyrics
How would you feel
With the world on your shoulders
My muddled words
Are getting harder to hear
From where I stand, I swear
I see the finish line
With crutches in my hand
I doubt I'll have the strength to make it home
With my countless tries
I thought I'd make a dent in life
Echoing cries
Voice is as thin as a blade
How could I try
Complete your puzzle with a missing piece
Like everybody told me
You're a leech, it's all you'll ever be
How could you be so cold
You're as pretty as a centipede
Outside you are as good as gold
But inside you are a wretched beast
A weight is off my shoulders
Liquid pain filling your empty shell
Something tells me you'll be gasping for air
Suffocating by your selfish ways
I've broken free
From tyranny
It's time I make my life my own
With blackened ink
Rewrite this page
All my life I bowed down
Broke the chains, I broke broke the chains now
A crack in the hourglass
I bid her a fond farewell
All my life I bowed down
Broke the chains, I broke broke the chains now
A crack in the hourglass
Out poured the sands of agony
The storm swept in with endless rage
Under waves I saw your face encaged
The wind blew in the irony
It's high time I cut you off
I know you are offended
But that doesn't mean it's justified
I've been held, mentally hostage
There are calluses on my brain
Take one more step, and you'll soon find out
It'll never fucking be the same
No more anger
No more lies
Someone help me
Cut the ties
I've broken free
From tyranny
It's time I make my life my own
With blackened ink
Rewrite this page
I've broken free
From agony
It's time I make my life my own
Broken free
From these chains
All my life I bowed down
Broke the chains, I broke broke the chains now
A crack in the hourglass
I bid her a fond farewell
All my life I bowed down
Broke the chains, I broke broke the chains now
A crack in the hourglass
Out poured the sands of agony
