Prizefighter

I am not yours

Bleeding on your dancefloors

Gather around the spectacle

Hanging from a string

And are you so tired?

As you tremble on the high wire?

Ready now to come down

But no one's listening

I'm drowning in your waves

'Cause I am not a prize that you compete for

Or a horse that you can break

I am not something to be fenced in

In case I run away

I am not a sideshow in your circus

Or a trophy on your shelf

'Cause I don't belong to you

No, I don't belong to you

Or anyone else

Is this a hell of my own making

Or a castle in the sky?

Is this fruit here for the taking

Or forbidden? Tell me why

To these shadows I might break down

To the walls I will confide

Will you watch this building burn

Or will you run into the fire?

I'm drowning in your waves

'Cause I am not a prize that you compete for

Or a horse that you can break

I am not something to be fenced in

In case I run away

I am not a sideshow in your circus

Or a trophy on your shelf

'Cause I don't belong to you

No, I don't belong to you

Or anyone else

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Or anyone else

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Bathed in light, we come alive

Slow motion coming back around

Like oceans, breaking down

I am not a prize that you compete for

Or a horse that you can break

I am not something to be fenced in

In case I run away

I am not a sideshow in your circus

Or a trophy on your shelf

'Cause I don't belong to you

No, I don't belong to you

Or anyone else

Or anyone else
