Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

You (you, you) were my oppressor
And I, (I, I) I have been programmed to obey
But now (now, now) you are my handler
And I, (I, I) I will execute your demands
Leave me alone
I must disassociate from you
Behold (hold, hold) my trance formation
And you (you, you) are empowered to do as you please
My mind (mind, mind) was lost in translation
And my heart (heart, heart) has become a cold and impassive machine
Leave me alone
I must disassociate from you, yeah, yeah
I won't let you control my feelings anymore
And I will no longer do as I am told
And I am no longer afraid to walk alone
Let me go, let me be
I am escaping from your grip
You will never own me again, yeah, yeah
