Lyrics

New moon rising
 In a west coast sky
 Gonna wait a little longer 
For mine, for mine 
Tangled up in the memory
 Of the long road that’s taken me
From red rock altars 
To this night
 The northern crown
 It rises high 
I throw my past 
Right onto the pyre
 The one I built 
When driven to my knees
 I called for help 
And I told you baby
 I need to be free
 Here in the bed I made
 I lay me down tonight
 Nothing more than a broken heap
But I am still alive
 I will not be tamed
 I will not be caged 
Trapped inside 
The day to day 
Confines built
 By choices I made 
I always do the right thing
 For everyone else except for me
And I’m the one that slowly bleeds
I’m slowly bleeding out 
Here I lay in the bed I made
 The one I set on fire
 Out of the ashes
 I will rise 
As something wild
 I will not be tamed
 I will not be chained
 Oh, I tried to live the life 
You said would make me happy
You can keep your picket fences
 I learned the hard way
 They come at a price 
Here I am, eyes open wide 
I am not afraid 
To walk through the fire 
To be saved
 To be wild 
I will not be tamed
 I will not be caged
