Lyrics and translation
Original
And why you now chose bleeding on your dance floors.
Gathered around the spectacle hanging from the ceiling.
And are you so tired as you tremble on the high wire?
We're 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.
No, 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 room here for the taking or forbidden? Tell me why.
To the shadows I might break down, to the walls that will confine.
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.
No, 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.
Woah, anyone else.
Woah.
Making like we go the highest.
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.
No, 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.
