Once, when I was twisted, inside out
Once, when I resisted, no one got out
Once, when I was fragile, I felt alive
Once, when I was dying, I survived
Tight Grip on reality
Mind controlled, Tainted with brutality
Tight Grip, short leash
Once, I was a hero, and ran away
Once, when I was forced out, I had to stay
Once, when all was lost, I made the grade
Once I caught a rainbow, and watched the colors fade
Tight Grip on reality
Mind controlled, Tainted with brutality
Tight Grip, short leash
Once, when I was weak, I slew a giant
Once, when I submitted, I was defiant
Once, when I was crying, I had to smile
Once, when I was crippled, I ran for miles
Tight Grip on reality
Mind controlled, Tainted with brutality
Tight Grip, short leash
