    LYRICS
    A life laid out in front of me
    With my hands tied behind my back
    I've lost control of the wheel
    My visions turned to black
    Predetermination of what I'm meant to be
    Your manipulation has taken over me
    Nothing but a puppet that's hanging from your string
    But now my eyes are open and I am breaking free
    I need to stop lying to myself
    Because it's got me feeling overwhelmed
    I won't fit inside these shoes you made for me
    I've got nothing to lose so please set me free
    The picture perfect mask you hide behind
    This role that you've been playing for the longest time
    It took awhile but now I see all the vile shit inside your mind
    You've had your grip on me for far too long
    Thought you had pure intentions but I was dead wrong
    The day I forget my passion is the day I won't know who I am
    Now I regret every second that I spent with you
    So I need to stop lying to myself
    Because it's got me feeling overwhelmed
    I won't fit inside these shoes you made for me
    I've got nothing to lose so please set me free
    I'll never walk down the road you paved
    You won't dig my grave
    I need to stop lying to myself
    Because it's got me feeling overwhelmed
    I won't fit inside these shoes you made for me
    I've got nothing to lose so please set me free
    I've got nothing to lose so please set me free

    If you've seen the movie Coco, you have an idea of the premise for this song. A child that has a passion for something but it's suppressed by family and another 'life' is forced upon him as a predetermined path they have to take just because.
    We had fun filming this video, hope you enjoy it / dig the new album! \m/

      I know how that feels like. I have a friend who is a bassist with a big passion for music, but his parents forced him to do something and claim that "music won't bring him anywhere." They even cut his bass strings. Such cruelty. Great song btw!

    As somebody who was later raised by psychopaths I can feel this song deep in my soul. I won't go the way the family wants me to, I'll pave my own path, away from them. Breaking free and do what I want to, not what they allowed me to do or laid out for me.
