On familiar grounds, you're losing sleep

A place to call home is all that you seek

Stranded and stuck, I'm trapped in your mind

Walking your path as you try to pave mine

With these tired eyes

I will sacrifice everything I have for what I've wanted for this moment

I won't be disheartened, I'm not your puppet on a string

Syllables are sharpened, but your words won't cut these wings

Leave the soil where it lies

Though it's safe and sound, I won't let this hold me back

You weigh down our body's with dirt, looking out for us

But we would rather feel the breeze

And with these tired eyes

I will sacrifice everything I have for what I've wanted for this moment

I will hold it and I will never let it slip through my hands- I don't want to be saved

I won't be disheartened, I'm not your puppet on a string

Syllables are sharpened, but your words won't cut these wings

Like a bird in a cage, you see right through me, see right through me

Set me free

I won't be disheartened, I'm not your puppet on a string

Syllables are sharpened, but your words won't cut these wings

Create your own path, with the air that you breath

Ignoring the ones disguised as gravity

Have no regrets, when it's all said and done

Live your own life 'cause we may only have one

I don't want to be, I don't want to be saved, I don't want to be saved
