[Verse]
  AI think I made it clear, EI'm getting out of here
  DSo much I want to do, Eso many dreams to pursue
  AI'm rotting away in here, Elost interest, I don't care
  DI'm breaking out somehow, EI need to live right noAwE  
[Chorus]
And DI don't Awant to Ebe like F#mthem
DDream of Aheaven while Etrapped in F#mhell
I Drefuse to Abe what they exEpect of F#mme
DI will Anever Ebe...
[Verse]
  AI hate this goddamn place, EI'm in need of my own space
  DEveryone is on my back, Ethey all need to cut me some slack
  AI'm rotting away in here, Efading out is my greatest fear
  DI need to get away, EI need to find my own AwayE
