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
