Staring off into space
As the humdrum gets louder
It's visceral
These restless days need to change
Why must I still wake
Will you flee
Independence, please
I'd give anything to feel at ease
There must be a way
To slip through these chains
My heart is so feral
My brain's in decay
I know there's an out
A much better way
I'll solve it someday
I feel it in my bones
Don't you see (don't you see)
We're not so free (we're not so free)
Like we're meant to be
I am the wit and it's the end
Of falling
For the shiny new distractions and their comforts
Red herrings
I'm barely
Holding on to the greased up rungs that they threw me
Abandoned
We're all just suckers in this f*cking zero sum game
A bad dream
Sound the alarm
There must be a way
To slip through these chains
My heart is so feral
My brain's in decay
I know there's an out
A much better way
I'll solve it someday
I feel it in my bones
Don't you see? (don't you see)
We're not so free (we're not so free)
Like we're meant to be
We're all damaged
But somehow we manage to disagree (on enemies)
We're not so free (we're not so free)
Like we're meant to be
Never happy with what I have
Always thinking what might have been
Do I wanna be right?
Should I let go of spite?
Or feel happy and some joy again?
I'm always full of regrets
They haunt me
It's kinda scary just how many things have triggered me lately
But someday
I'll settle down,
Neurologically I'm wired for black speech
And bad streaks
We're always looking for acceptance while we're following our dreams
Smash the alarm
I feel it in my bones
Don't you see (don't you see)
We're not so free (we're not so free)
Like we're meant to be
We're all damaged
But somehow we manage to disagree (on enemies)
We're not so free (we're not so free)
Like we're meant to be
These restless days need to change
