I fear what they'd do if they find I've escaped

I fear what they'd say if they find I play, I get scraped

They want you to think it's possible to live a life without their chains

But if you, if you go too far, you'll find they're pulling on your reins

I fear what they'd do if they finally catch me

I fear they'd take my home if they find I roam, find I'm free

They want you to think it's possible to live a life without their chains

But if you, if you go too far, you'll find they're pulling on your reins

But if they catch me, I will fight, I will run

I will burrow underground

They won't catch me, I need hope, I need air

And I won't, I won't make a sound

I fear the life I know if they make me go back

I fear I couldn't stand any more of the stifling black

They want you to think it's possible to live a life without their chains

But if you, if you go too far, you'll find they're pulling on your reins

But if they catch me, I will fight, I will run

I will burrow underground

They won't catch me, I need hope, I need air

I won't, I won't make a sound

I fear what they'd do if they find I've escaped
