Within the fence I was raised
Left, right, stand up straight, they told me
When I leap and twirl,they call me disgrace
Being yourself, it's not meant to be

Be a lady, strike a pose
Be pretty, get a rich man
Wear some makeup and glamour clothes
These stupid rules, I can't stand

Why was I shackled with lips sewed shut
Told to be a docile and obedient lamb
When I grew up I locked my heart
For love seems like a painful scam

But then the butterfly comes
It feels like heaven to see him there
Especially he, who plays the drums
God' flawless work of art, I can't help but to stare

Not the first, but he taught me a lot
Compared to many others from the past
But for long I've stained my fangs with blood
To appease the devil, for I hate being an outcast

I told myself no, many suffered by these hands,
Now it's his turn, the one I called my angel
Scared of being locked up, I want to fail their plans
It's men who's at fault, before they could I'd put them to shackles

They want me to cook and clean
To look on the ground, obey, fake a smile
They told me to kill my dreams
Don't want my freedom robbed, I turned hostile

I will not submit to men
Even if they'd cut my head off
I flipped the card and tied their hands
Think I want your protection? Think again, my love

Your toy is not what I am
I stepped on your head before you could step mine
Oh, I, the disgusting and damned
You've done no wrong, just glimmer of hope trying to shine

What have I done?
You begged on my feet, just to be kicked in the face
What have I become?
I slaughtered a cub, for a bear gave me a chase

Heaven knows what I have turned into
They sent angels to hunt me down
The devil isn't that pleased too
As I try to dispose my sinful crown

Oh the irony, the fact you've lead me home
Yet I refuse to enter and killed you at the entrance
I'm a nobody, insecure and alone
For what I've done, do I deserve repentance?

Forgive me love, I hate the thought of submitting to you
I took drastic measures to keep my head up
Forgive me Lord, for I can't get through
I'm long gone, holding his innocent blood in this cup
