lyrics

Lolina:
Locked in a cell,
Here in the dark,
You’ll take me away, put me to death,
When the morning comes.

I’ll do anything,
Just please let me live,
What do you want, what can I do,
Nothing left to give

I did whatever you asked for,
What do you want?
What do you want?

I did whatever you asked for,
What do you want?
What do you want?

I did as you said,
I followed your rules,
I tried to be good, tried to obey,
I was a fool.

‘Cause I cannot win,
Never good enough,
You ask me for things that I cannot give,
You ask for too much

I did whatever you asked for,
What do you want?
What do you want?

I did whatever you asked for,
What do you want?
What do you want?

You took me away just to kill me,
You took me away from my home,
You blamed all your failings upon me,
I never did anything wrong
Never did anything wrong!

All my life I’ve gone along and done what was asked of me,
I can’t give what you want, I can’t make you happy,
Tried so hard to serve, tried so hard to please,
But I cannot satisfy, ‘cause you cannot be appeased,
You never gave me a chance! Used me as your scapegoat,
Why were all your moral failings my fault?
You called me a sinner ‘cause of how I was made,
You never gave me a chance yet still I am blamed

I wanna survive,
Now I see,
The only way to live is to fight.

I don't wanna die,
Now I see,
The only way to live is to fight.

Got-gotta gotta escape I gotta
Got-gotta gotta escape I gotta escape from here.
