Breaking Out
Maddison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm buried in like that the truth that's deep within my skin
Voices echo now down down, to places I've not been
All I wanted was a freedom from the life inside these walls
Yeah it's gonna go down down, tonight's the curtain call
This is it I'm alive gonna run for my life
Cause I'm breaking out tonight
Gotta kick down the doors and get ready for war
I'll be putting up a fight
Cause all I've ever known is in between these walls
Today's the day and I'm on my way
This is it I'm alive gonna run for my life
Cause I'm breaking out, breaking out tonight
All the days the months the years are scratched upon these walls
Voices echo now down down, I hear them call
Will I ever make it out of here, yeah out of here alive?
A gun, a badge and a 45 chevy gonna kick it into overdrive
This is it I'm alive gonna run for my life
Cause I'm breaking out tonight
Gotta kick down the doors and get ready for war
I'll be putting up a fight
Cause all I've ever known is in between these walls
Today's the day and I'm on my way
This is it I'm alive gonna run for my life
Cause I'm breaking out, breaking out tonight
I'm buried in like that the truth that's deep within my skin
Voices echo now down down, to places I've not been
This is it I'm alive gonna run for my life
Cause I'm breaking out tonight
Gotta kick down the doors and get ready for war
I'll be putting up a fight
Cause all I've ever known is in between these walls
Today's the day and I'm on my way




This is it I'm alive gonna run for my life
Cause I'm breaking out, breaking out tonight
