You lock me up with your expectations,
You lock me up with your expectations,
Loosen the pressure you choked me with,
I can't breathe, I can't breathe.
You stripped my heart with your accusations,
You shut me into an affectation,
Loosen the pressure you choked me with,
I can't breathe, I can't breathe.
Let me pull down on your high ideals, to sweet earth, honest and wide,
Tumble with me in an undoubted craze,
Don't hold back the tide.
You might get caught in sweet captivation if you let your mind take this aberration,
Loosen the pressure you've choked me with,
I can't breathe, I can't breathe.
Let me pull down on your high ideals; sweet earth, honest and wide,
Tumble with me in an undoubted craze,
Don't hold back the tide.
You lock me up with your expectations,
You lock me up with your expectations,
You lock me up,
You lock me up,
You lock me up, oh.
Oh,
You lock me up,
You lock me up,
You lock me up, up.
