Lay me down on the rocky ground
for I am used to it by now
May look disheveled, I may seem unsound
Still I'm not here to mess around

We both know it wasn't long ago
that I was resting comfortably
A short while and I'll be back again
Yea, just you wait and see

And I'm not gonna stop 'til I quit breathing
Not gonna stop, and abandon freedom
Not gonna stop until I fall into my grave headlong
And I'm not gonna stop, I'm gonna make it
Not gonna stop, won't let you take my drive
No, I'm not gonna stop

Like a broken puppet with my chin to my chest
Against the wall my head will rest
See all the men like clouds they float on by
As if gravity need not apply

It's been so long since my shoes were gone
So these blisters, now they grace my feet
And walking by nobody wonders why
Because they stare straight through their soul at me

And I'm not gonna stop wearing this skeleton smile
I'll keep this mask on my face for a while

Path meandering, different stages of a dream
Words unspoken, truth yet to be seen
Swallowed lies and broke-down fences
It's time to face the consequences
What could be the destiny, the recompense for
the one who gave it all away

What is real, I can't place
The hands that hide a covered face
but the taste still decorates my brain
with the beauty that remains in me

Peace increasing every time i look inside
I find the the voices screaming starting to subside
Crooked lines now are straightening
Darkness dies shadows fading
I don't want to flee the mystery, the light I'm facing
It is still in me, and you can't take that away

I know this is real, 'cause in this place
Hands that hid now clear the tears from my face
Divine embrace has chased away my pain
Replaced by love and grace and what remains
is the taste of the truth that sets me free
That divides the veil and shows the mystery in me

Far away, can't find meaning
Can't explain what you don't feel
What to say, sheer frustration
descending into the unreal

Pacified, made apathetic
To step up, or to shrink and hide?
Pick your brain, what do you really see?
What's welling up inside?

Let it out, don't let it get away
You've gotta let it out, don't let it get away
Emotions serve to educate
Now is the time, you know
You gotta let it out, don't let it get away

Seize the day, don't waste a moment
Lift your voice, now is the time
Pave the way, let people know they
are not the only ones alive

Start to yell, don't hold back now
Liberation starts with you
Speak your mind, reclaim the nation
The world is aching for something new
