So you'd say if i stayed within your lines
I'd find an easier ride, within our time
But what you failed to mention is you'd exploit us every step of the way
I could feel our faith in you begin to stray
But your word always meant nothing

Forced away for a dollar figure
Just to keep you out of reach
A man once genuine, now turned to stone
If we only knew the things we've come to know
A fool holds a hardened heart, a blackened soul

(not one to be confined, in this life
The choice that i make are my own steps to take
Not one to be denied, in this life
The choices that i make are my own steps to take
And i won't take no for an answer. no i won't be confined.)

We'll take these steps and move on without you
You're not the man we thought you were
Take these steps and be proud to move on without you

A greedy hand, hidden behind
Consuming an innocence
This is to put you in your place
Fraudulent ideals, the real ignored, make it easier to steal
We never thought it could be real

We can't change the past
But we could always change our path
We'll take our chances somewhere else
And you'll see what comes next

It's only about the view you hold
When a situation gets out of your control
This is only way once we look past the blind reasoning

When you hold close
A circumstance which binds your mind
Eventually it'll change your perspective in time

(we all carry the burden of a promise unkept
Not more than yourself and the things you'll come to regret.)
