In the quiet of the night, I ponder
On the choices that I've made
But it seems, in this grand wonder
Most paths were already laid
Thought I held the reins so tight
Guiding my destiny's flight
But fate's hand, it gently steers
Leaving me with silent fears
Bound by circumstance, I find
Life's not just what's in my mind
Forced to dance to an unseen tune
In this masquerade, I play too soon
Dreams I dreamt, they often stray
From the script life had in store
Illusions of my own display
Yet destiny knocks at my door my door
Though I longed for roads unknown
Destiny's path, it's overgrown
With the vines of what's to be
Not the dreams I wished to see
Bound by circumstance, I find
Life's not just what's in my mind
Forced to dance to an unseen tune
In this masquerade, I play too soon
Oh, to break free from these chains
To rewrite life's grand refrain
But the strings, they pull so tight
Leaving me in darkest night
Oh, to break free from these chains
To rewrite life's grand refrain
But the strings, they pull so tight
Leaving me in darkest night
Leaving me in darkest night
Bound by circumstance, I find
Life's not just what's in my mind
Forced to dance to an unseen tune
In this masquerade, I play too soon
Yet in the shadows, there's a gleam
A hope that's not just what it seems
For even in this scripted dance
There's a chance to break free, take a stance.
(chance to break free)
(to break free)
