Clockwork Doll

Turn the key, watch me move A clockwork doll with nothing to prove They wind me up and I obey But my heart whispers, there's another way Everyone's spinning in gears in sync Living by patterns, afraid to think They say follow the path, don't stray too far Do as you're told and you'll know who you are I try to escape, to break the chain To see the world beyond this frame But every time I step outside The system pulls me back inside I'm a clockwork doll wound up tight Forced to march, no room to fight They say this is the way, just fall in line But I crave a world that's truly mine Every step feels the same A scripted life, a hollow name I wanna break free, to lose control But they keep winding up my soul They built this house to keep us still To follow orders, to bend our will A perfect illusion, a flawless game But every turn feels just the same The roads they've paved I've walked before A copy life, nothing more I want to carve my own new way But they whisper, stay, don't disobey I'm a clockwork doll wound up tight Forced to march, no room to fight They say this is the way, just fall in line But I crave a world that's truly mine Every step feels the same A scripted life, a hollow name I wanna break free, to lose control But they keep winding up my soul What if I let the key unwind? What if I leave their rules behind Would I fall apart? Would I survive? Or find the spark that keeps me alive I'll tear these gears, I'll break the mold Find a truth that's yet untold A world beyond this ticking sound Where my heart can finally be unbound I'm not a clockwork doll, I'm more than this A life constrained is a life I'll miss Let the system break, let the winds blow I'll find myself in the unknown No more winding, no more control I'll write the script, I'll claim my role I'm stepping out, I won't look back A clockwork doll, no more, I've left the track
