lyrics

When I get out of this house
I’ll give a dog a bone
Freedom from the leash
This keep I call a home

But as of right now
I am stuck in the shackles
I am too weak
To put up with the battle
Even outside
Well I run in the shadows
Waiting to become
The king of my castle

Do you know the feeling I’m describing?
To live under the thumbnail of a giant?
I am not so foolish as to bite the hand on which I am reliant
I’ll be compliant
I swear

Oh my bags are heavy
But my luggage is light
Soon I know I’ll be ready
With a steady hand to fight

I’m taking myself to a dinner
The last doggy-bowl supper tonight
And in the morning when I wake up
Tomorrow
I will release myself outside

But as of right now
I am stuck in the shackles
I am too weak
To put up with the battle
Even outside
Well I run in the shadows
Waiting to become
The king of my castle

Do you know the feeling I’m describing?
To live under the thumbnail of a giant?
I am not so foolish as to bite the hand on which I am reliant
I’ll be compliant
But I can’t take my eyes off the horizon
Cause I will be the first on off this island
Oh I will fight the giants, I will conquer them like David did Goliath
And topple a tyrant
I’ll break the silence
With barking and biting
I swear

When I get out of this house
When I get out of this house
When I get out of this house
When I get out of this house
