[Chorus : J. Mann]
Set me free
Let me be who and what I am
Why can't you see ?
You never seem to understand this pain I feel
Is as real as your ignorance
Question fate as I await deliverance
[Verse One : Jeffrey Nothing]
Like a fantastic fork
In bloody meat
Don't give me love, I wanna drown in your deep divide
[Verse Two : J. Mann]
Tumbleweed sew the seed in this ghost town
You never know what you'll see when the sun goes down
I saw her last in a dream she seems to astound
Heard of her first third verse, (216), hands bound
(Hands bound)
[Verse Three : Jeffrey Nothing]
Taken from me in my mind
Empty without it inside
Starving I am the deprived
Just want it once...
Desires strong
Resistance is weak
It's hard to win when you've got so many mouths to feed
[Chorus : J. Mann]
Set me free
Let me be who and what I am
Why can't you see?
You never seem to understand this pain I feel
Is as real as your ignorance
Question fate as I await deliverance
[Jeffrey Nothing]
I could die for all of my sins
No not for that, for all that I have never had
[Outro : J. Mann, (Jeffrey Nothing)]
This life's a fight for fulfilment (I've never had...)
Inside a war of my own hindsight
Look back with resentment
Taken as I find myself all alone...
All alone...
Taken from me
