STATE OF MIND
STOP FEEDING ME ALL YOUR F**KIN LIES,
I HAD ENOUGH OF THAT BULLSHIT MY ENTIRE LIFE
FOUND THE SILENT WEAPON THAT TRIED
TO CONTROL MY BRAIN AS I FOUND MYSELF ALIVE
IN YOUR F**KED UP LITTLE GAME
CAN’T YOU SEE YOU’VE THREATENED ME
FOR I WAS BORN FREE, CAN’T YOU SEE?
DIDN’T BECOME A VICTIM OF YOUR F**KIN INSTITUTIONS
TRIED TO RAPE MY MIND BUT I HAD MY OWN SOLUTIONS
IN MY EARLY YEARS I ALWAYS KEPT A DISTANCE,
IN MY OWN LITTLE WORLD, A PREMATURE EXISTENCE
CAN’T YOU SEE YOU’VE THREATENED ME
FOR I WAS BORN FREE CAN’T YOU SEE?
I WAS BORN FREE!
NOW I’M GOING BACK!
NOW I’M ON THE OTHER SIDE AND THINGS ARE ALL SO CLEAR
AWARE OF ALL YOU DO, I SEE IT WAS ONLY FEAR,
A STATE OF MIND IN ME THAT I KNEW I WAS ALWAYS THERE,
BELIEVING IN MYSELF I THINK IT’S ONLY FAIR
SLAVING MY LIFE AWAY BECAUSE YOU WON’T LET ME OUT
SO I HAVE PAVED THIS PATH MYSELF
CAN’T CHANGE MY WAYS EVEN IF YOU TRIED
THIS IS THE WAY IT WILL BE TILL THE DAY OF MY DEMISE
DEMISE
SLAVING MY LIFE AWAY
LET ME OUT
NO END IN SIGHT
CAN’T UNDERSTAND YOUR REALIZATIONS
FORCE-FED TRUTHS BUILT ON FALSE PRETENSIONS
ALL YOUR LIFE, ACCUSATIONS
LET OTHERS BLEED, FOR YOUR SALVATION
IS THEIR LIFE BEYOND THIS REALM
YOU SAY YES, OH, SO I WILL BOW DOWN
GREEDY BASTARDS CAN’T OWN MY LIFE,
THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR SPEAKS YOUR MIND
NO END IN SIGHT
WHY
INNOCENT LIVES
IGNORANT MINDS
GOVERNMENT PLAN
WILL IT EVER END
CAN’T UNDERSTAND YOUR REALIZATIONS
FORCE-FED TRUTHS BUILT ON FALSE PRETENSIONS
ALL YOUR LIFE, ACCUSATIONS
LET OTHERS BLEED, FOR YOUR SALVATION
THRU A CHILD’S EYES
WHAT LIES BENEATH YOUR SKIN, (REJOICE)
WHY HIDE WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE, (AFRAID)
LET YOUR INNER-CHILD ROAM FREE
IN THIS DESPERATE SOCIETY
WHAT KIND OF LIFE HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING
AND WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS YET TO COME
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT YOU’RE BEING DRIVEN
TOWARDS A LIFE THAT YOU’VE NEVER KNOWN
YOU’RE LOCKED UP IN YOURSELF (MENTAL)
THIS LIFE SO PRECIOUS CAN’T WASTE YOUNG MINDS
FOUND THAT AGE IS A LIFE LONG QUESTION OF TIME
WHAT KIND OF LIFE HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING
AND WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS YET TO COME
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT YOU’RE BEING DRIVEN
TOWARDS A LIFE THAT YOU’VE NEVER KNOWN
REALIZE!
THRU A CHILD’S EYES
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT YOUR LIFE DOESN’T MATTER
ALWAYS TRYING TO BE SOMEONE ELSE
LIVE YOU MIND NO NEED TO PRETEND
THERE’S A WAY OUT OF HERE
FEELINGS ARE SUPPRESSED
YOU’RE WORRYING TOO MUCH
YOU SAY THAT’S LIFE IN THIS F**KED UP RAT RACE
WHAT CAN BE DONE, WHAT CAN I DO
DO YOU FORGET THAT YOU’RE ALIVE
SO SEARCH DEEP FOR THE ANSWER IS INSIDE
GIVE IT UP
WHEN YOU GONNA REALIZE YOUR EYES SORT OF SOCIALIZE
THE VOID THE FLOYD FEELING PARANOID
WHEN YOU’RE KNOWING WHAT YOU’RE DOING
AND YOU CAN’T TURN AROUND
YOU KEEP ON GOING TO THE PLACE
WHERE THE FACE IS THE CASE
AND YOU CAN’T COME DOWN
SO YOU KEEP ON STRIVING FORWARD
TO THE HIGHER THE GROUND
THE HIGHER THAT’S MORE VILE
AS I SAY ANY WAY IS THE WAY THAT IT WAS
IS THE WAYS OF THE WAY
F**K THE SYSTEM IT CAN’T HAVE ME
I HAVE MADE THIS A LIVING REALITY
THROWN IN THIS WORLD NO APOLOGIES
I HAVE MADE THE BEST OF WHAT HAS COME TO ME
SO F**K YOUR UTOPIAN VISIONS OF PEACE
I HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE
AS I GO FURTHER AND FURTHER
FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH I HAVE STAYED UNDERGROUND
AND I WROTE THIS SONG JUST THE WAY THAT IT WAS
F**K THE SYSTEM IT CAN’T HAVE ME
I HAVE MADE THIS A LIVING REALITY
REALITY
IT’S FREEDOM THAT I’M AFTER
AND I KNOW I’M GOING FORWARD
AND I KNOW I GOTTA TRY
BUT I CAN’T KEEP AWAY FROM THIS SOCIETY
HAS A WAYS OF A WAY GOING INSANE IN THE BRAIN
WHOA! WAIT!
IN A WAYS GONNA REALIZE
SO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOING
THE BASS ALL THE WAY
GOTTA WAIT EITHER WAY
IN A WAY I GOTTA TRY
BUT I CANNOT GET INSIDE
WHY CRITICIZE WHAT YOU LIKE
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING
F**K THE SYSTEM IT CAN’T HAVE ME
I HAVE MADE THIS A LIVING REALITY
F**K THE SYSTEM!
VOZ DE MI ALMA
