Lyrics:
“I poured my time into a plastic cup And threw it out the window in a parking lot
Never in a moving car anyway
Discard the day
Breaking out the golden cage By taking all gold out of play
Write myself a happy ending Tearing out the page I go
Here I go running off the stage
I go Here I go
I thought my pain was valid till I felt the resistance
It doesn’t suffer fools Break the rules of my existence
I thought my pain was valid till I saw cross the distance
I broke the bridge in two Break the rules of my existence
Tell me
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
I try to self-destruct but leave myself intact I like to dream and I’m not an insomniac
Happy wasn’t on the table anyway
Discard the day Breaking out the golden cage
By taking all gold out of play
Write myself a happy ending
Tearing out the page I go Here I go,
suffocate the rage I go Here I go
I thought my pain was valid till I felt the resistance
It doesn’t suffer fools Break the rules of my existence
I thought my pain was valid till I saw cross the distance
I broke the bridge in two Break the rules of my existence
Tell me
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
I’m safe and I am sound
Leave me bound Leave now
I’m tame and anchored down
Leave me bound Leave now
I’m safe and I am sound Leave me bound Leave now
I’m tame and anchored down
Leave me bound Leave now
I thought my pain was valid till I felt the resistance
It doesn’t suffer fools Break the rules of my existence
I thought my pain was valid till I saw cross the distance
I broke the bridge in two Break the rules of my existence Tell me Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long”
