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 sheetsThis is the last fight we're gonna go through
Take my dignity and love my truth
Gonna go far, far away from youSomewhere bright and blue
Anywhere is better than you
Somewhere far from here
I’ll live my truth and lose my fearSomewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
SomewhereYou 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 meThis is the last fight we're gonna go through
Take my dignity and love my truth
Gonna go far, far away from youSomewhere bright and blue
Anywhere is better than you
Somewhere far from here
I’ll live my truth and lose my fearSomewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
SomewhereThis 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 rareSomewhere
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 meHear the calling
A righteous howl
Shaking your feet
Right off the ground
Come in unbound
Let everyone see
Your battle crown
Drenched in ecstasyTonight 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 divineLilac stairway
Buried underground
Decays by day
Keeps you spellbound
Fire on the hillside
Calls us to find
What were hiding
And what we left behindDistant 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 believeThey 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 feedThat’s the way it all goes
Hiding under your nose
So the story goes
If you're bought then you've soldAll that glitters isn't gold
All that glitters isn't gold
All that glitters isn't gold
All that glitters isn't goldWhere we are, common folk get no praise
Endless Days and nights spent locked in this haze
Their backs are broken, waiting out their daysConstant chants and riots trying to make some noise
They give you rights but they're only decoys
All to maintain, those high-class toys
