lyrics

Clock above my head tick tick tick tick tick
Scrabble for a break tick tick tick tick tick
Mind has run away tick tick tick tick
And I'm struggling for breath tick tick tick tick

The rules that pin me down break break break break break
Boundaries all around break break break break break
Societal compounds break break break break
Is the norm by which I'm bound break break break break

Brave! We step away
From the frames that hold us back from our escape
We can change our prescribed fate
Break the walls, burn down the doors and recreate
Our World again

Sat behind a desk tick tick tick tick
Cos you have to pay your rent tick tick tick tick tick
Wish your life away tick tick tick tick
Only live for the weekend tick tick tick tick

The strings that tie you down break break break break break
Feeling like you'll drown break break break break Break
The jobs you're taught are sound break break break break
The life you want on which they frown break break break break

Brave! We step away
From the frames that hold us back from our escape
We can change our prescribed fate
Break the walls, burn down the doors and recreate
Our World again

They're gonna plug you in and then they'll bleed you dry
You won't feel a thing while they control your life
They're gonna plug you in a slave until you die
The system feeds your dreams but you're the sacrifice
They're gonna plug you in and then they'll bleed you dry
You won't feel a thing while they control your life
They're gonna plug you in a slave until you die
The system feeds your dreams but you're the sacrifice
They're gonna plug you in and then they'll bleed you dry
You won't feel a thing while they control your life
They're gonna plug you in a slave until you die
The system feeds your dreams but you're the sacrifice

Brave! We step away
From the frames that hold us back from our escape
We can change our prescribed fate
Break the walls, burn down the doors and recreate
Our World again
