Breaking Away TONIGHT

Your name is...fear
And you demand that I abide by your despair
~
I gave you everything that you have ever asked
And I never got a thing in return for ANY of that
But you still managed to continuously stab me in the back
~
Your name is...remorse
And you wish for me keep true to this damaging oath
~
I was nothing but a puppet; I was just your personal scapegoat
These sinister strings guided me to cast aside all forms of pride and hope
I considered us to be friends because you were all I used to know
~
Your name is...sorrow
And all you want is to darken the brightest tomorrow
~
I was your undying sacrifice; the one and only reoccurring offering
You had an unquenchable thirst for my untimely, man-made suffering
There's countless times where I put you before myself- it's so god-damn sickening
~
Your name is...tainted
And you believe that we are fated
~
I've remained here, behind your bars, locked up and shackled
I was a prisoner held captive, wrapped in chains and a straitjacket
Handcuffed and muzzled because you knew that one day I would try and change this
~
Your name is...corruption
And you desire for me to take on all your burdens
~
I was just a temporary cure for your demeaning curse
Stacking everything upon me, just so you wouldn't get worse
It was all for your own benefit, and it paid off, but I just couldn't take it anymore
~
Your name is...darkness
And you thrive on feeding off of my weakness
~
But I cannot-and-will-not allow you to create my end
I have my own morals, and I believe in my own aspiring dreams
So I'm going to be leaving you, because this is MY life...and this is MY creed
~
Your name will proudly be left behind
Because I'm going to be breaking away TONIGHT!
