I'm not an animal, so where are my rights?
I've set down my weapon - forced refusal to fight.
Let's set this place on fire...
Run and never look back.
This city is dead
Can't you hear it screaming?
It's far in the distance, but
Closer when i close my eyes.
Let's take this freedom to the streets
Make these restraints disappear.
They can't hold us forever
And I won't sacrifice my life without a fight.
My hands are bleeding from trying to climb out of my cage
So filled with rage; I just wanna feel the rain again.
No umbrella. I am enduring it all this time.
I am soaking up the pain from my wounds but i'll survive.
Tough with the fists like I am used to this ****
Rescue me from this routine....
              I crave to blanket the Earth with it
The walls are collapsing
From this angle I can see you, although I'm trapped inside
Quick, grab a brick! While we're still alive.
I won't be a part of this future
I'll take back what is mine. We deserve to be free
Take me home, take me back
I wanna feel alive again.
