[Verse 1]
This edict dictates
The mind will stay in a creative state
I'm not a scholar but I'm pretty sure
You've earned the right to keep creating

I cannot breathe
I cannot speak
Please let me leave or let me sleep
There's no leaving here
Never

[Pre-Chorus]
Please tell me the benefits of keeping me locked up
Maybe if we tried hard working together
We'd escape insanity forever and ever

[Chorus]
I took a look outside my window
I painted wings and tried to fly
Closed my eyes and I jumped
Imagination ran dry
Took a look outside my window
I painted wings and tried to fly
Break me out of this fictitious life
[Verse 2]
This edict dictates
The mind will stay in a creative state
I'm not a scholar but I'm pretty sure
Don't let me die like this

What else can I paint when I'm watching the skyline? What is this crimson? Blood is much redder
Please expand this room

[Refrain]
I'm just waiting here
I'm just pacing here
I'm just wasting here

[Chorus]
I took a look outside my window
I painted wings and tried to fly
Closed my eyes and I jumped
Imagination ran dry
Took a look outside my window
I painted wings and tried to fly
Break me out of this fictitious life

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
I'm just waiting here
I'm just pacing here
I'm just wasting here
[Chorus]
I took a look outside my window
I painted wings and tried to fly
Closed my eyes and I jumped
Imagination ran dry
Took a look outside my window
I painted wings and tried to fly
Break me out of this fictitious life
