[Verse 1] Staring at the cracks in the ceiling Same four walls Same dead air Teeth grind through another morning My name feels thin Like it’s not there [Chorus] I gotta break away Before I lose what’s left of me Rip these chains Tear through the frame ’Cause this cage starts to sound like me I gotta break away Burn the script they wrote for me If I stay If I stay I’ll be what they said I’d be [Verse 2] Clock hand screams in slow motion Cold glass My breath writes “go” Every dream boxed up in the closet Labeled “later” ten years ago [Chorus] I gotta break away Before I lose what’s left of me Rip these chains Tear through the frame ’Cause this cage starts to sound like me I gotta break away Burn the script they wrote for me If I stay If I stay I’ll be what they said I’d be [Bridge] I hear that voice Drilling through my skull (you’ll never change) I taste that poison Every time I stall (sit down, behave) But I’m done dragging this dead weight Done bleeding for their praise (hey!) I’m not your echo I’m not your echo I’m the crack that splits the stage [Chorus] I gotta break away Before I lose what’s left of me Rip these chains Tear through the frame ’Cause this cage starts to sound like me I gotta break away Burn the script they wrote for me If I stay If I stay I’ll be what they said I’d be (I won’t stay, I won’t stay) I finally break away
