Take Off Your Shoes

  • This is the last thing you're gonna take from me
    Got me so out of air, it's getting hard to see
    And everyday feels like a distant memory
    And every night I'm tossing turning in my sheets

    This is the last fight we're gonna go through
    Take my dignity and love my truth
    Gonna go far, far away from you

    Somewhere bright and blue
    Anywhere is better than you
    Somewhere far from here
    I’ll live my truth and lose my fear

    Somewhere
    Somewhere
    Somewhere
    Somewhere

    You know I get so tired of hiding when you seek
    I know you done something wrong, you're talking in your sleep
    And everyday is a different kind of agony
    I'll shed my skin and what you've done to me

    This is the last fight we're gonna go through
    Take my dignity and love my truth
    Gonna go far, far away from you

    Somewhere bright and blue
    Anywhere is better than you
    Somewhere far from here
    I’ll live my truth and lose my fear

    Somewhere
    Somewhere
    Somewhere
    Somewhere

    This is the part where I take it all back
    Take back my time gonna hit restart
    Snuff out our flame reclaim my heart
    This is the part where I take it all back
    Crystal visions come crashing through
    My eyes are open and I love the view
    Sky's of blue are never rare

    Somewhere
    Somewhere
    Somewhere
    Somewhere

  • Crystal black ocean
    Moonlight shore
    Will you find
    What you’re looking for?

    Can you find the treasure
    Buried in the deep?
    Wade violent weather
    Come after me

    Hear the calling
    A righteous howl
    Shaking your feet
    Right off the ground
    Come in unbound
    Let everyone see
    Your battle crown
    Drenched in ecstasy

    Tonight we are free
    Alongside the stars
    Tonight we will be
    Ourselves only scars
    Tonight we are free
    Outside our bars
    Creatures of the night
    Carefree and divine

    Lilac stairway
    Buried underground
    Decays by day
    Keeps you spellbound
    Fire on the hillside
    Calls us to find
    What were hiding
    And what we left behind

    Distant memories
    A forgotten sound
    Dusty rosaries
    Collect on the ground
    Come out unbound
    Make everyone see
    You battered crown
    Drenched in ecstasy

  • High-roller suites, they say they can’t be beat
    They haven’t tried dancing dirty in the street
    Getting high on Saturday night could make you believe

    They got box-level seats for killing our trees
    Poor mans in the stables always begging please
    He wants to get outta there, but he’s got kids to feed

    That’s the way it all goes
    Hiding under your nose
    So the story goes
    If you're bought then you've sold

    All that glitters isn't gold
    All that glitters isn't gold
    All that glitters isn't gold
    All that glitters isn't gold

    Where we are, common folk get no praise
    Endless Days and nights spent locked in this haze
    Their backs are broken, waiting out their days

    Constant chants and riots trying to make some noise
    They give you rights but they're only decoys
    All to maintain, those high-class toys
