I count days I'm told to stay
I bite my tongue and nod away
The walls are closing in so slow
I want to scream but cannot show
I feel the fire under my skin
I hear a voice that roars within
The chains are rusted, not my will
I'll break the lock, climb the hill
Clock is stuck at half past nine
I watch the dust and pale sunshine
I feel the fire start to shine
I'm ready to step out of line
Clock is stuck at half past nine
I watch the dust and pale sunshine
I'm gonna break this whole design
I'll take the reins and redefine
I feel the fire under my skin
I hear a voice that roars within
The chains are rusted, not my will
I'll break the lock, climb the hill
Clock is stuck at half past nine
I watch the dust and pale sunshine
I feel the fire start to shine
I'm ready to step out of line
Clock is stuck at half past nine
I watch the dust and pale sunshine
I'm gonna break this whole design
I'll take the reins and redefine
