You don't want me to be happy
You don't want me to be free
You don't want me to get lucky
And you don't wanna let me be
You don't want me at the table
Where the big boys eat
You don't want me to be funny
And you don't want me to be me
I keep looking for compassion
Almost everywhere I go
I've been working on my freedom
'Cause this is all I know
Wanna break out of this prison
But don't know where to go
So I crawl inside the cage
And try to make it my own home
I keep running round in circles
I keep beating myself up
I get into my distractions
But my thinking never stops
I've been thinking so damn hard
I think my head is gonna break
I need some kind of answers
For heaven's sake
I'm not some kind of victim
'Cause I took it on myself
And I know that you are frightened
And in need of help
So let's take all of our demons
Send them back to hell
'Cause we both know that the devil
Is alive and well
Yeah, we both know that the devil
Is alive and well
