I'm staring at the clock but the hands don't move
I'm looking for a groove that I'll never find in you
I've got a head full of steam and a heart full of lead
Living out the stories that I've already read

Tell me what you want
Tell me what I'm missing
I'm screaming at the wall
But you never want to listen

I'm making the opening move
I've got nothing left to prove
Break the cycle, tear the page
I'm stepping out of this gilded cage

You're playing for the draw while I'm playing for the win
I'm tired of the skin that you've got me living in
The board is set, the pieces are cold
I'm breaking every promise that I ever was told

I'm making the opening move
I've got nothing left to prove
Break the cycle, tear the page
I'm stepping out of this gilded cage

I'm done with this
Let me out
Let me out

I'm making the opening move
I've got nothing left to prove
Break the cycle, tear the page
I'm stepping out of this gilded cage
