[Intro]
I hear your whispers in my mind,
With your gentle voice you seemed so kind.
But now I know the truth so deep within,
You're not my friend, you're a demon underneath my skin.
[Verse 1]
I couldn't see what you were doing, I couldn't see the signs,
Didn't get that you were binding me, in thorn covered vines.
You dug your claws in, sunk your fangs in my flesh,
With every movement I made, you brought a pain so fresh.
This can't go on anymore I won't let it stand,
Won't be a victim, of the life you have planned!
[Chorus]
I'll claw out of this cage! (Claw Out!)
Won't rest till I tear apart your plans! (Tear Apart!)
No longer can you rake me across the coals! (No Longer!)
With my friends I'll take back my soul! (Take Back!)
[Verse 2]
Now that I know the truth about you,
I'm making a choice your lies I'll cut through.
I'll stand up, rise against your claws,
I'll stand tall, won't be frightened by your jaws!
Your bindings won't hold me, I've gotten too wise,
You can't fool me any more, not with any disguise!
[Chorus]
I'll claw out of this cage! (Claw Out!)
Won't rest till I tear apart your plans! (Tear Apart!)
No longer can you rake me across the coals! (No Longer!)
With my friends I'll take back my soul! (Take Back!)
[Verse 3]
I'm free from your lies, free from the pain you cause,
On my life you can no longer press pause!
My scars are my story, not something on which to feast,
You might be a demon, but I've become the beast!
So get out, you aren't wanted in my life,
It's hard enough, don't need you to give me strife!
[Chorus]
I'll claw out of this cage! (Claw Out!)
Won't rest till I tear apart your plans! (Tear Apart!)
No longer can you rake me across the coals! (No Longer!)
With my friends I'll take back my soul! (Take Back!)
[Hook]
You got inside the darkness of my loss,
With shadows so deep, to the other side I couldn't see across.
But you're an unwanted guest, a blight on my soul,
I'm my own person, I refuse to be under your control!
[Chorus]
I'll claw out of this cage! (Claw Out!)
Won't rest till I tear apart your plans! (Tear Apart!)
No longer can you rake me across the coals! (No Longer!)
With my friends I'll take back my soul! (Take Back!)
