lyrics

I got a new feeling
Pardon me if I'm heavily breathing
I lost my mind to reason
I wanna see a return on my labour, but they're sayin' it's never my season

Dam! I need a new land
One I got been telling me I'm not a part of it
(since the beginning)
I'm not a part of it
I'm not a part of it
I'll never fit

I need water, I need air, I need earth!
But them that got it all sold up don't give a flying...
I'll keep dying while you keep burning the bridge to a prosperous future
Where all the people could live
(and the land could breathe)
Without the noose of control about the neck and being spoon fed the things we need
That's not the thing we need.

Get out of my head if you don't mind
Evaded my dread since morning time
My dreams are a thicket splintering the sky

Let new ideas grow freely
(I just wanna dream in peace)

Betwixt my thoughts travelled swift light

Sometimes I feel like leaving
(Slam the heavy door behind me but what good would that be?)

The seamstress said you'll be just fine
If on the page of your dreams you don't slip between the lines

If not for me, some other tree

The government said to stay inside
(get ready)
Protect yourselves while we devise new ways to kill you from a castle of lies
(Let's get free)

As long as you're useful you'll be alright

On the day of reckoning the clock flies swift to wartime, to a time when the people won't stand anymore for the same old ...

Bit your leg you, you fell now you're dead.

It's all a hot mess in the thicket
I find no rest when I try to get it

All up and down the land the people were deep dreaming the same

That by + by things were gonna have to change

Soaring clouds whispering children it's now!

This time will be more of the same
This time will be bathed in sharp pain
Murder your ideas which can't remain
Fearful lines snapped once again
I learnt that a black heart cannot be slain
And that black spirit and wisdom will not be tamed
And hopefully we'll all see sense
Lest we crash and fall
Lament! For my dear it ain't over yet
The parents sin, the kids collect the debt
And I could feel some sympathy if I were sure their minds were clean
But alas, it wasn't to be and my whole life I felt animosity
And in my head I chant a plea
It echoes through my mouth, my hands, my feet
Going, let's get free
Let's get free, let's get free, let's get free, let's get free, let's get free
