I've been looking for the questions 
To the answers i've been fed 
A banquet of lies 
Digested with a smile 
I'm a captive in a hole 
I'm gracious in defeat 
Take back the mic 
Turn off the light i stole 

You're the captain of your soul 
The master of your fate 
I dreamt of being like you 
So pure. so clean. so whole. 
I just need one more chance 
To rinse my eyes 
And wash away my blindness 
Wash away my sadness 
Wash my dependence 
Wash away my fear 

So i can give myself protection 
When you put me down 
So i can deal with disconnection 
When i hit the ground 
Get resistance to the infection 
That you spread around 

So i can declare my independence 

It's been so long so high 
This wall i've climbed 
So green so blue 
So real, surreal 
I'm home, i'm dry, i'm free 
I've washed my hands of the future
