Lyrics: Takeharu Ishimoto and Matt Furda
Music: Takeharu Ishimoto and Matt Furda
Pounding at these prison walls inside my mind
Struggling to break free but I realize I'm
Stuck here, shackled by this insecurity that
Tells me I can't do what you're expecting of me
Every night I lie awake
Feeling like I'm just a mistake
Oh, take a look at me
I know I'm not the perfect boy you want me to be
All I really need
Is room to breathe because this pressure's killing me
All my life I've fought to win your validation
Always met with failure and humiliation
Maybe I belong here, shackled in this place where
No one else can see I'm nothing but a disgrace
Every night I lie in my bed
Trying to escape from my head
Oh, take a look at me
I know I'm not the perfect boy you want me to be
All I really need
Is room to breathe because this pressure's killing me
So take a look at me
I know I'm not the perfect boy you've pushed me to be
But I found some clarity
My life's too precious to live shackled by insecurity
And now I'm breaking free
I'm through with you and everybody else telling me
Who I'm meant to be
I'm taking back control
The world ends with me
