With that innocent smile, you said trust me
Together we'll go far, you just trust me
Making promises in vain, that's easy for you
You gather all the pain, that's all you can do

All on my own, I was blind to see
You hypnotized me, I was lost, now I've awakened
The stone was just sand, now I'm a man

Chorus:
Hey, I'll say what I wanna say
Hey, I'll be what I wanna be
Like a lion in a cage, inside I feel the rage
Hey, I'll say what I wanna say, can't stop me

You taught me a lesson, I'll never forget
To never go no further, than my soul allows

All on my own, I was blind to see
You hypnotized me, I was lost, now I've awakened
The stone was just sand, now I'm a man

Chorus

Can't play your game, now who's to blame
You think you're tough, I've had enough
Now I'm free from under the gun
Away from your spell up I'll run, up and away
