It whispers through the wind
but I only first noticed
The walls are closing in
It's like no matter how much I gain
or the things that I use
It's never an escape
So I'll take everything I own
And tear them down even my throne
I'm wide awake but it's like a dream which happens over and over again
I'll find a way I'm breaking out giving up all that will keep me tied down
The cities i have built are all found in a cage
I'm trapped on all accounts
Can i just release everything that I own and face my unknown
I'm wide awake but it's like a dream which happens over and over again
I'll find a way I'm breaking out giving up all that will keep me tied down
Everything I built is not enough to get me
out
I'm wide awake but it's like a dream which happens over and over again
I'll find a way I'm breaking out giving up all that will keep me tied down
So I'll take everything I own
Tear them down even my throne
