---

I never wanted to leave,

To break my gentle prison.

But when did I forget to believe

And start to reason?

I tried to comply

To fit the mold they push you…

But in the heart of me, it won’t die -

The wish to never have to lie…

I’ve been breathing through the pain

Bent from all the strain

Balanced on the line,

Fighting for right to define.

Quiet no more

Out of this inner

War I’ll come back the winner

What scars will I see

When looking at the face in the mirror?

I’ll never agree

To give up all that makes me free
