Strings attached

If I take your hand 

You'll tighten just your grip 

I've lived this lie 

I've been down this trip

 

Trip and trap

Tie me up like prey 

Torture me living

Sell it to me as great

 

Make me join your fleet

Make me join YOUR fight

The victory is ours

But in defeat alone I cry 

 

No consolidation

No support

No validation 

No chance of rapport 

 

Emotional turmoil 

A means to an end 

To try to ensalve me 

NEVER again 

 

Try to enchain me

I'll fend of every try 

Your stupid excuses

I'll never buy

 

Fear my power

Fear my might

Try if you will

Try if you like  

 

Alone I fight 

Struggle and might

Not yet be ready

But know this 

 

My will is clear

My course is steady
