Breaking Out
Keychain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The institution that I'm in, can't run
Without subjects, order, riches & guns
I trace the maze, for ways to get undone
tricks of the trade I gave to everyone
Sick of Livin like a slave
Today I quit this Cage
Fire Up in Town
Sky Empire comin Down
Higher than the Sound
Riot Breaking Out,
Fire Up in Town
Sky Empire comin down
Higher than the Sound
Riot Breaking Out
My crew, illustrious with truth and the proof
Media wildfire, New Revolution
Legendary Contrarian
Keychain Sanctuary, I'm in
Fed Mercenaries can't scare me
Broken, Bloodied, Beaten
I've been, by Cops
Sick of livin like a Slave
Today I quit this Cage
Fire Up in Town
Sky Empire comin Down
Higher than the Sound
Riot Breaking Out
Fire Up in Town
Sky Empire comin down
Higher than the Sound
Riot Breaking Out
And I follow you for life
I become someone different
My soul seeks like a knife
I'll find a reason
HEY
I know that you
SEE IT
I know that you
FEEL IT
I know that you wanna be a part of
IT NOW
This is My Life
This is Our Life
This is My Life

Sick of livin like a Slave
Today I quit this Cage
Fire Up in Town
Sky Empire comin Down
Higher than the Sound
Riot Breaking Out
Fire Up in Town
Sky Empire comin down
Higher than the Sound
Riot Breaking Out
THIS JUST IN
I don't wanna be dead behind destruction, Fallout 5




THIS JUST IN
I just wanna be God of my own construction, Allmighty
