I was raised in a box, a dollhouse confined in people's dreams

My life laid out in front of me and I'm counting down the days
The rules were simple, slick and clean, the walls were thin
I couldn't breathe and suddenly
I saw
♪
A crack on the wall
♪
(Wish 107.5)
I took the leap
And I was finally free
♪
The air was full, I had my way, I lived how I wanted to live
♪
For the first time in my life I was free to love and far away from hate
♪
I climbed the nearest mountain top, I ran with hope, I never stopped
And suddenly I fell
My failures seemed to be
What people wanted to see
♪
Whispers turned to prayers and prayers turned to screams
Silence left unknown
I fell and started to sing
♪
I had a secret I suppressed, I wanted to live a normal life

I thought I had it right, I drew the cards and bet to survive
I ended up hurting still reaching for emptiness above

I didn't ask to take one step, bend the rules and fall in love
But I'm tired of keeping score
And I'm tired of hiding from you
And as long as the people who matter approves
As long as I hold my truth
Whispers turn to prayers and prayers turn to screams
Silence will be ours if we continue to sing
♪
Whispers turned to prayers and prayers turned to screams
All I'll ever keep
Is this song that sets me free
