lyrics

You told me what to do, what to think, what to be, and what to say. You controlled my every move and made me lose my natural way. It was too heavy of a load, so I had to head on down the road. Couldn't let you that far in my mind. Had to leave that shit behind.

Cause what I want to write, I can. What I want to think, I can. What I want to do, I can. Be what I want to be, I am.

Digging up the roots cause I have found there's no easy way to get out. I am digging up the roots and taking only what I need to create my own route.

Well, you want a robot, some zombie clone, someone to pretend so you're not all alone. I am so much more than you can explain; far beyond mere pleasure and pain and I won't fit inside your perfect frame; can't play these silly kinds of games. I couldn't let you that far in my mind. Had to leave that shit behind.
