Greyhounds

[Verse 1]
Always have I been on a leash
Collar tied so tightly, was not able to breathe
Never was I running free
The birds so fearlessly laughing at me
The air smells like pine trees and cigarettes
What I'd give for a chance to forget
About the terror, the cages
Racing just so I could escape my inevitable fate

You wouldn't know when you see me today
God how I've changed, went through hell and back again
You see me shine only to hide
The scars from your blinded eyes

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now where am I gonna go?
Is there any place that I truly know?
Some place that I can call home?
Been around but I never know where to stay
Maybe I should stop waiting
And just start walking

[Chorus]
Now I am running with the greyhounds
I'm playing with the big guys now
Muzzles off, baby
Try to chase me, I love seeing you failing
Now I am running with the greyhounds
I'm playing with the big guys now
Leashes off, baby
Try to catch me, I love driving you crazy

[Verse 2]
Always have I been undermined
Somehow haven't found my right time to shine
Never wanted first place, never cared about that
Always cared about my heart telling me to move on
From material things that won't last
The winner takes it all, well I don't need a lot
People put their money on me and they're gonna regret it
Cause I'm not here to please anyone in the end

You'll never know the whole story of me
Just the bits and pieces that you want to see
You'll never understand the wars I fought and lost
In my own head

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now where am I gonna go?
Will this road finally take me home?
Or is it just another dead end?
Can't stand any more disappointment
Waiting turns to walking
Walking turns to running
But no more running away
Running just for running's sake

[Chorus]
Now I am running with the greyhounds
I'm playing with the big guys now
Muzzles off, baby
Try to chase me, I love seeing you failing
Now I am running with the greyhounds
I'm playing with the big guys now
Leashes off, baby
Try to catch me, I love driving you crazy

[Outro]
Went through hell and back again
