You strike me down with games and lies
I trusted you but I found
Your only true friend is your desire for playing 'round

You're out of your mind, you've lost control
I'm gonna take back what's mine
You'll never have my soul
This time you have really stepped across the line

Thieves in the palace, full of tales and lies
We've gotta stake it, burn it out
Expose the malice; that they chose to hide
It's just a break in, to break out

Breaking in, so we can break out
Breaking in, so we can break out
Breaking in, so we can break out
Breaking out!

Why should I believe in anyone
When I can just trick and thieve
Life’s likely to have one up its sleeve
The game is on

We’re playing the odds
That’s how it’s done
Pretending to act like gods
Who steal just for fun
Who cares if it means we’re living on the run

Thieves in the palace
Full of mirrors’ deceit
We’ve had to break in to get out
Phantoms of madness
Snapping at your feet
We’ve had to break in to break out

Would that I might be honest and gentler in some other life
‘Cause this one has been a hard mentor
Can’t forget what I’ve done
Can’t forget why
Hoping I’ve got it all right in this fight

Thieves in the palace
To steal your golden crown
It’s just a break in, to break out
The cry that rallies the weak and broken down
The pain and anger, let it out

Breaking in, so we can break out
Breaking in, so we can break out
Breaking in, so we can break out
Breaking out!
