lyrics

I was mad and locked away
But I've escaped onto the street
Wind blowing through my hair
Ground feels good beneath my feet

But I flew too high,
Now I swoop too low

Every time I step outside
I have to dig deep for resolve
Composure flutters from my mind
I'm just to raw to deal at all

When a small man
Says a small thing
I go tumbling
In a big way

Circumstance compels me 'round
To the meat market downtown
Chop me up, chop me up
One of many on display
Come and get your slice today
Chop me up, chop me up

Butcher me into cuts to take home

Voices that can never know
Asking can't you let it go?
Chop me up, chop me up

May not be mean but you sure are rude
Help me find an escape from you

You're dodging daggers from the stares
And wondering why you're there
But you sprung from the ground,
Like they did from a head

Trying to absorb it all
Gotta keep on walking tall
Chop me up, chop me up
Nothing's gonna break my stride
Gonna keep my head held high
Chop me up, chop me up

Circumstance compels me 'round...

They say a girl can dream
Allow me just one scream?
