lyrics

A tree that yearns to grow
From pasts it can’t let go
Such a misery inside its eye
A plant that surely dies
Regardless if it tries
What a life it leads behind a guise

Leave the mystery inside
A love for all that’s bright
Encased in a safe made for heaven
In a world of light and day
What else is there to say
With ashes to ash, dust to dust

I just wanna be free
In a world that’s full of make-believe
So I’ll crash down at the seams
Oh, you’d better stop for half a scene
I’m not waiting for me
In a world that’s full of plastic screens
Watch the tears of all my grief
Oh, it’s all so imaginary
It’s all so bleak
Is this all that I will ever be?
Searching far to find the key
I am desperate for a sign to be free

And thus begins the show
Ten thousand years ago
In a world that pities every light
You’re waiting for a sign
For something you can find
In the city build upon your eyes

Is this all that I can see?
A fog storm in the deep
Where memories are long forgotten
Wanna smile and mean it too
For now I’ve got no clue
How crying can feel
Wondering

Will I ever be free?
Can I reach behind the plastic screen?
Feel the warmth of all my greed
And I’ll breathe my lines for half a scene
I am waiting for me
Roll the credits like it’s so serene
Glees of truth are breaking free
I am desperate for a sign to be free

(Will I ever learn how I can be free?)
(Oh…)

When the memory corrodes
We’ll say our prayers and go
The carousel singing an anthem
Wanna reach beyond the stars
But then they’re way too far
Can’t wish on a digital heart

For a sign to be free
Can I be more than an absentee
Ride the waves among the sea
And I’ll pray beneath the cherry tree
Can you wait here for me?
Will the credits carve the path I seek
Hear the masks of all I plea
And I’ll wear these chains for centuries
Free
