Breaking Free

Pounding at these prison walls inside my mind

Struggling to break free but I realize

I'm stuck here shackled by this insecurity

That tells me I can't do what you're expecting of me

Every night I lie awake

Feeling like I'm just a mistake

Oh, take a look at me

I know I'm not the perfect boy you want me to be

All I really need

Is room to breathe because this pressure's killing me

All my life I've fought to win your validation

Always met with failure and humiliation

Maybe I belong here, shackled in this place

Where no one else can see I'm nothing but a disgrace

Every night I lie in my bed

Trying to escape from my head

Oh, take a look at me

I know I'm not the perfect boy you want me to be

All I really need

Is room to breathe because this pressure's killing me

So, take a look at me

I know I'm not the perfect boy you've pushed me to be

But I found some clarity

My life's too precious to be shackled by insecurity

Now I'm breaking free

I'm through with you and everybody who's telling me

Who I'm meant to be

I'm taking back control

The world ends with me
