He's kept on a short leash cause you're weak at the knees
Shaped by uncertainty, molded by fear, guided by hate
Their life's less valuable, because of what you create
He's been beaten and bruised, bitten and chewed
And his death awaits if he were to lose
Exploited for your own purpose
But to you, his life's worth it
I wanna know why and how you justify the meaning of their life
And how yours is so much more valuable
Your god complex won't be ignored
You take for granted something that loves you more than it loves itself
But they've been hated, discriminated
No voice, no story to tell
Say no to the leash
Manipulated, mutilated, shoved away, your face is taking their place
Inside you're empty, heartless, cold, your soul already sold
Nothing left to reclaim, I'll break them of this lock and chain
And watch you wither away
I show them love
You show them hell
I set them free
You can't keep me on this leash
