Once you were free and you stretched out your wings to the sky

sky was the limit, cap on your creativity

team against team could we even the score

our hearts kept the rhythm, that forbidden beat

your talons now grip like steel to the weight they chained you to

two in the morning, you can't hear the rumbling train

trained not to think or question anything

the chains that had bound you are now obsolete



please open your eyes,

everything they told you was a lie,

think for yourself won't you even try

to look past all of those lies

think for yourself

think for yourself



for generations the answer has always been no

no one remembers and nobody cares to ask

asking a question is deemed criminal and slowly the silence grows

on the growing list of the mindless, by your name a check

checkmate the situation if we all toe the line

line up and never open up your eyes

and don't even think about raising your voice



please open your eyes,

everything they told you was a lie,

think for yourself won't you even try

to look past all of those lies

think for yourself

think for yourself



leave your mind without thought (they fill it)

identity erased

place refuse in your sight (you swill it)

blah blah blahblahblahblah?

well it seems they got you bound (bound tight)

yeah it seems they got you beat

the chains that held you down (you down)

they now hang obsolete
