Testo Prizefighter - Rise Against

Prizefighter

I am not yours
Bleeding on your dancefloors
Gather around the spectacle
Hanging from a string
And are you so tired
As you tremble on the high wire?
Ready now to come down
But no one's listening

I'm drowning in your waves
'Cause I am not a prize that you compete for
Or a horse that you can break
Oh I am not something to be fenced in
In case I run away
I am not a sideshow in your circus
Or a trophy on your shelf
'Cause I don't belong to you
No, I don't belong to you
Or anyone else

Is this a hell of my own making
Or a castle in the sky?
Is this fruit here for the taking
Or forbidden? Tell me why
To these shadows I might break down
To the walls I will confide
Will you watch this building burn
Or will you run into the fire?

I'm drowning in your waves
'Cause I am not a prize that you compete for
Or a horse that you can break
I am not something to be fenced in
In case I run away
I am not a sideshow in your circus
Or a trophy on your shelf
'Cause I don't belong to you
No, I don't belong to you
Or anyone else
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Or anyone else
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Bathed in light, we come alive
Slow motion coming back around
Like oceans, breaking down

I am not a prize that you compete for
Or a horse that you can break
I am not something to be fenced in
In case I run away
I am not a sideshow in your circus
Or a trophy on your shelf
'Cause I don't belong to you
No, I don't belong to you
Or anyone else
Or anyone else
