Yeah, I'm almost breaking, I'm almost shaking myself awake
Yeah, I'm almost sold and I'm almost holding more than I can take
So this is how we end up doing all the things we don't want to?
Oh, I made up my mind - this is the last time. And to put it blunt, I'm off to
Say my goodbyes, say that I tried to do it your way, but your way's broke
"Stay in the lines," each word well defined... still I can say it's up in smoke
Yeah, I'm almost breaking, I'm almost shaking myself awake
Yeah, I'm almost sold and I'm almost holding more than I can take
What? Were you not thinking I'd stand up blinking at the light that you just ignored?
"Sit," you yelled, so I stand, refuse your command; your empty reward
Say my goodbyes, say that I tried to do it your way, but your way's broke
"Stay in the lines," each word well defined... still I can say it's up in smoke
Yeah, I'm almost breaking, I'm almost shaking myself awake
Yeah, I'm almost sold and I'm almost holding more than I can take
And I won't turn around to see you shout
And I won't hear a sound, I'll drown it out
And I was once your slave, I'd do it all
But I will not remain, I'm climbing out
Yeah, I'm almost breaking, I'm almost shaking myself awake
Yeah, I'm almost sold and I'm almost holding more than I can take
