[Intro]
Low (Low, low)
[Verse 1]
Bleed in your own light
Dream of your own life
I miss me
I miss everything I’ll never be
[Bridge]
And on and on
I torch my soul to show
The world that I am pure
Deep inside my heart
No more lies
[Verse 2]
A crown of thorns
An image formed, behold
The mark I’ve borne
A mark of scorn to you
[Verse 3]
Consume my love, devour my hate
Only powers my escape
The moon is out, the stars invite
I think I’ll leave tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Soon, I’ll find myself alone
To relax and fade away
Do you know what’s coming down?
Do you know I couldn’t stay free?
[Chorus]
I shall be free
I shall be free
I shall be free
I shall be free, free
Free of those voices inside me
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Outro]
I shall be free
I shall be free
