The walls are filled with paintings
But they're all fake
Policies and rules that don't apply to us
We're imprisoned
Cuff me up
The price for tomorrow is today
Borrowing utensils from the house at the lake
It's precious
I sail away
As rust builds up on the edge of my brow
I couldn't tell you how
I wait for you
For you
Socks filled up with sweets from the town
Building glucose banks
Then I fast for you
For you
And I want to ask
But I won't ask
Why won't they help?
Is attention what they want?
So I will set out
Away from the crowd
And away from the sound
Of chains on the ground
Seeking harbour elsewhere knowing what's at stake
I altered my standards to find comrades
Promiscuous
Now selective
Forgiving those who did us wrong in good faith
It's easy when excuses are the pill you take
Now lust takes over
And also gluttony
I'm sorry
I wait for you
For you
Although I'm vain
I'm so vain
I do this for you
Or at least I think I do
Or at least I say I do
So when I ask
When I ask
For some love
I mean right here right now
Right here right now
And when the task
When the task
Presents itself
I'll be right there
The exit's instrumental
Time to celebrate
Liberation from the man who kept me enslaved
My books are coming with me
Also pen and some faith
Dry lands are expected
I'll write poems one the way
Now I want to ask
And I will ask
When will it come?
Is it right here right now?
Right here, right now?
So I will set out
Towards the land
And away from the sound
Of chains on the ground
