Breakthrough

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I walked on fire

I paid my dues

I did everything

That you asked me to

I watched your movies

I read all your books

I studied your secrets

Till you got me hooked

I came to you when I was at sea

I needed something good to happen to me

They said you could look right into my soul

And pull me out of the darkest hole

But I don't wanna be free

I just wanna be me

I don't wanna be free

I just wanna be me

I don't wanna be free

I just wanna be me

I don't wanna be free

I just wanna be

I need a breakthrough

Right here right now

I need to break through

But I don't know how

I need a breakthrough

To kill my former self

I need to break through

This is a cry for help

Day five out of six and I'm not feeling it

Someone got fixed, I'm not receiving it

Is it really the mother or the absent father

That always tear you asunder just like no other

I don't wanna be free

I just wanna be me

I don't wanna be free

I just wanna be

I need a breakthrough

Right here right now

I need to break through

But I don't know how

I need a breakthrough

To kill my former self

I need to break through

This is a cry for help

Do you recall the sweat lodge

People were turning blue

Choking to death all around us

But where was the selfhelp guru

Yeah where was the selfhelp guru

I spent my cash I gave all I got

I bought into your dream of eternal love

I abandoned anger, I abandoned fear

Yet I wonder still what am I doing here

I walked on fire, I burned my skin

My friends and family should have turned me in

I discovered your secrets, I burned all your books

On the seventh day I got off the hook

I need a breakthrough

Right here right now

I need to break through

But I don't know how

I need a breakthrough

To kill my former self

I need to break through

This is a cry for help

I need a breakthrough

I need a breakthrough

I need a breakthrough

I need a breakthrough

I need a breakthrough

This can no longer last

I need to break through

Help me forget my past
