*Verse 1:* You parade in my mind, a masquerade, A puppet with strings, too heavy, too swayed. Twisting my thoughts like a velvet noose, Chasing me down in your hollowed pursuit. You wear a crown of lies, delicate, thin, But I see through the charade that you’re in. Your whispering touch, it’s a thorn on my skin, I’m carving my escape from the web you spin. *Pre-Chorus:* I’m tired of the tether, your grip on my soul, You played me like music, but I’m taking control. Don’t pull me in deeper, don't drag me below, I’m cutting the chord, I’m letting you go. *Chorus:* Get off me, can’t you see? I’m drowning in the lies you breathe. Your shadow’s too close for comfort, please, Get off me, get off me. Your love's a cage, it's a bitter disease, Can't you see it’s suffocating me? Get off me, get off me. *Verse 2:* You’re a creature of chaos, a siren in disguise, But I’m not a fool for your fractured alibis. A cold symphony, you play it so sweet, But I’m sick of the rhythm that dances defeat. Your velvet chains are too smooth, too tight, But I’m breaking them now, I’m turning the light. I see all the cracks in the mask you wear, I’m done being captured in the snare of your stare. *Pre-Chorus:* I’m tired of the tether, your grip on my soul, You played me like music, but I’m taking control. Don’t pull me in deeper, don't drag me below, I’m cutting the chord, I’m letting you go. *Chorus:* Get off me, can’t you see? I’m drowning in the lies you breathe. Your shadow’s too close for comfort, please, Get off me, get off me. Your love's a cage, it's a bitter disease, Can't you see it’s suffocating me? Get off me, get off me. **Instrumental** *Bridge:* I hear your voice in the distance, it’s hollow, Begging me to stay, but there’s no tomorrow. I’ll be the flame that burns through your facade, No more illusions, no more charade. *Chorus:* Get off me, can’t you see? I’m drowning in the lies you breathe. Your shadow’s too close for comfort, please, Get off me, get off me. Your love's a cage, it's a bitter disease, Can't you see it’s suffocating me? Get off me, get off me. *Outro:* Get off me, get off me... Can’t you see, can’t you see? I’m finally free, Get off me, get off me. Get off me, get off me. Get off me, get off me. *Outro:* Get off me, get off me... Can’t you see, can’t you see? I’m finally free, Get off me, get off me.
