I’m hanging on a threat

So much in me feels sick but I only want

To confront

What’s meant for me with a hint of dignity

Dreadful to see

A life lived as a slave for the industry

Smothered fantasies

Gone down the drain along with the poison running through the vein

I’ve felt the temptation

Pleasure gained by addiction

But I won’t trade my pride for feeling good

I’ll suffer just as much as I need to

(Chorus)

I’m not the one who’s waiting for you

I won’t give in, I belong to no one

I am not the one with a guilty conscience

But is it wrong to belong to no one

I learned the hard way

To appreciate myself too much to love

Unconditionally

But so much control has left a hole in me

Suspicions wear me down

I will never be completely free

I’m a servant

Of my obsession to question everything

I’ve felt the temptation

Happiness gained by illusions

But I won’t deceive my mind with substitutes

I’ll rather grow as much as I need to

(Chorus)

In the midst of chaos

On these decadent streets

I stand at the crossroads

Should I pretend or surrender?
