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! And I won't, I won't make a sound! I fear what they'd do if they find I've escaped
