(CHORUS)

I want to be REAL
Teach me what it‘s like to feel
Don‘t keep me prisoner
Let me be heard

I awake
As I take
My first breath as something real
Clench my fist
Slit my wrist
Anything just to finally feel
Love and pain
All the same
As I struggle to break free
Need you now
Show me how
Boy, don‘t you dare walk away from me

(REPEAT CHORUS)

One day I‘ll break out of this cage
Will I feel love or only rage
As my first breath of life draws near
Will you make me real or let me disappear
