Sense of secure, security You do what you're told Don't care to leave Confined by thought Brainwashed at night Forget that you were born with any given rights Care to see with clarity Get up and off your lap of luxury Can you hear me breathing While you watch me swinging From that velvet noose? Sense of stable, stability Keeps you locked down Complacency What if there's more To what life holds Move on Forget the things that you were oversold Can you hear me breathing While you watch me swinging From that velvet noose? Put your arms around me I can feel you drown me Cut me loose Cut me loose Cut me loose Swinging Swinging Swinging from that velvet noose Breathing Breathing Breathing, cut me loose Cut me loose, yeah Cut me loose Cut me loose, cut Can you hear me breathing While you watch me swinging From that velvet noose? (I'm hanging on now) Put your arms around me I can feel you drown me (I'm hanging on now) Cut me loose (I'm hanging on now) Cut me loose (I'm hanging on now) Cut me loose Cut me loose, I say (I'm hanging on now) Cut me loose, to know (I'm hanging on now) Cut me loose C'mon, I beg to you Cut me loose So, yeah!
