Lyrics
The Handler
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.
You were my oppressor
And I, I have been programmed to obey
But now, you are my handler
And I, I will execute your demands
Leave me alone
I must disassociate from you
Behold my trance formation
And you are empowered to do as you please
My mind was lost in translation
And my heart has become a cold and impassive machine
Leave me alone
I must disassociate from you
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
