Bind to me - keep me in the shadows of your lifenTerrified - frightened I might step into the lightnDrinking deep from wells of bitterness within your soulnHolding fast to self-deluding visions of controlnYou're convinced that when you're donenand the day is through,nthe applause is just for youn nParanoid - jealousy is all you've come to knownPettiness - make a friend into another foenAnd now everything is done, and the day is throughnNow there's no one left for youn nTwist the blade inside of me and bleed me dry,n'cause there's nothing you can say to mento make things how they used to be againnI have built a better life without your lies,nand I will not be brokenn nI don't need your blessing nownI don't need your fantasiesnAll your fictions don't sustain me anymorenBreaking bonds, I'm setting myself freen nTwist the blade inside of me and bleed me dry,n'cause there's nothing you can say to mento make things how they used to be againnI have built a better life without your lies,nand I will not be brokenn nBlind to yourself and to all you pushed awaynEmpty-handed and alone now at the end of the daynAll of your misguided claims are dead to menDid you think I'd let you dictate everything that I could be?
