Slave

[Verse 1]
Most of my life I've wondered
If I would ever stop to ponder and discover
The awesome things about myself
Finding me for me and nobody else
Nobody else, uh
Life would be so breezy
If things were never hard and always easy
Hearing the truth is rarely ever pleasing
But it's clarity for the soul and we all need it, need it
No time to be conceited
It's more than living for the weekend
How will people rеmember us on earth whеn we leave it?

[Chorus]
I begin to focus on myself more often (More often)
I refuse to be alone 'til I'm in my coffin, won't get lost in
Awful days and the pain that the world portrays (Portrays)
I won't become a slave to lies displayed
When there's a better way to live

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah), oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (A better way to live)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Woo), oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Why do I always feel like I gotta try to fit in?
I'd rather be me in real life, the games I just gotta quit it
Rewire my focus, yeah, and keep my mind sober, yeah
No chains will hold me, no
I desire freedom, yeah, I won't be a slave no more
Finished with the rinse-and-repeating
If it's wastin' time, then I abhor
Even in those seasons, when my soul is feeling depleted
And these chains make me feel like a heathen
I remember that I'm breathing
Fighting for my joy, I'm done living defeated

[Chorus]
I begin to focus on myself more often (More often)
I refuse to be alone 'til I'm in my coffin, won't get lost in
Awful days and the pain that the world portrays (Portrays)
I won't become a slave to lies displayed
When there's a better way to live

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah), oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (A better way to live)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (A better way to live)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
