We all get born into chain gangs
We all get stamped with barcodes
We all get taught to sit upright
Believe a world of which we're told
Took a nail file to my chains
Couldn't mark them
Took an hacksaw to the links
Chains remain
I TNT'd a ring
I'm escaping
You got injured
Friendly fire, fire
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
I'm a fool to think strong
Is to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Can you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole
Freedom on the tongue
Gets tongue twisted
When the essence of the words
Is to control
Made a bonfire of the crimes
I'm convicted
You got blistered, fire
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
You're a fool to think strong
Is to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Can you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole
Cut the chord
It's contagious
You absorb
All the fallout
I've been small
You're gigantic
Au secours
Lovesick romantics
You're the one who speaks in tongues
Of sorcerers and saviours
I have only just begun
To understand love's dangers
I'm the one who understands
The gifts of fallen angels
I'm the one who hurt you
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
You're a fool to think strong
Is to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole
You're the one who's catching me
Falling backwards
You're the one who's catching me
Falling backwards
Falling backwards
Falling backwards
We all get stamped with barcodes
We all get taught to sit upright
Believe a world of which we're told
Took a nail file to my chains
Couldn't mark them
Took an hacksaw to the links
Chains remain
I TNT'd a ring
I'm escaping
You got injured
Friendly fire, fire
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
I'm a fool to think strong
Is to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Can you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole
Freedom on the tongue
Gets tongue twisted
When the essence of the words
Is to control
Made a bonfire of the crimes
I'm convicted
You got blistered, fire
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
You're a fool to think strong
Is to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Can you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole
Cut the chord
It's contagious
You absorb
All the fallout
I've been small
You're gigantic

You're the one who speaks in tongues

Are you so sure that you're right?
You're a fool to think strong

If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole
You're the one who's catching me
Falling backwards
You're the one who's catching me
Falling backwards
Falling backwards
Falling backwards
