Been living this life for a long time
caught on the claws of your control
I’ve been watching the world from behind these bars baring all the scars
How can I escape the jail you seem to create?

This is a jailbreak
I'm being who I want to be
finally breaking free
tired of pretending
its time to live my life before I cave in

I try to please you by being what you want
its not enough
I am tired of this mask cutting off my breath
I will never pass this test

Well this is a jail break
I'm being who I want to be
Finally flying free
I don’t want to pretend any more
Its time for me to live my way

I'm under the microscope of your judgement
your eyes strip me to the bone
only to disappoint
you know its true
I'm struggling to stay above the tears
yet no one knows

Time to burst free
you can no longer control me
Its a jailbreak

Been being who I am not

for far too long
Wearing the mask for an eternity
Nobody sees the true pain or the way I bleed
Im done trying to please
it never works
I act tough but you still see me as weak
Because of my mistakes you spit me out like a bad taste

No longer gonna be stuck under your power or dragged by your leash
