Breaking Free: Triumph Over Manipulation
Lyrics
You always think that you know everything
You consistently believe you have complete knowledge
Use the years between as a weapon
Using the time passed between us as a means of attack
You’re praying on my innocence
You’re preying on my naivety or lack of experience
A victim of your sick obsession
I’m a victim of your unhealthy fixation or preoccupation
No longer is the blame on me
I’m no longer being held accountable
Crying on the kitchen floor
Expressing emotional distress on the kitchen floor
The further I get I can see
As I distance myself, I gain clarity
This was never about me
This was never primarily about me
Powertrip
A reference to the dominance and control you exert
You love to make me feel so powerless
You derive pleasure from making me feel powerless
In your twisted mind
In your distorted perspective
I bet that you’re proud of it
You take pride in this behavior
Addicted to control
You’re addicted to having control over me
You’re going to drown in it
You’ll be overwhelmed by this need for control
On your powertrip
Engaged in your pursuit of power and control
You like to turn me against my friends
You enjoy manipulating me against my friends
Say they don’t get me not like you do
Claiming they don’t understand me as you do
You almost had me so convinced
You nearly convinced me that I relied solely on you
That I couldn’t exist without you
That I couldn’t survive without you
No longer is the blame on me
I’m no longer held responsible or at fault
Crying on the kitchen floor
Experiencing emotional distress on the kitchen floor
The further I get I can see
As I distance myself, I gain clarity
This was never about me
This situation was not primarily about me
Powertrip
Referring again to your control and dominance
You love to make me feel so powerless
You take pleasure in rendering me powerless
In your twisted mind
In your distorted viewpoint
I bet that you’re proud of it
You derive satisfaction from this behavior
Addicted to control
Addicted to controlling me
You’re going to drown in it
Your need for control will consume you
On your powertrip
Engaged in your pursuit of power and control
Thank god just in time
Expressing relief at escaping your control
I got off your powertrip
Grateful for breaking free from your dominance
Thank god just in time
Expressing gratitude for escaping your control
I got off your powertrip
Thankful for breaking away from your power and control
