I've been looking for the questions To the answers i've been fed A banquet of lies Digested with a smile I'm a captive in a hole I'm gracious in defeat Take back the mic Turn off the light i stole You're the captain of your soul The master of your fate I dreamt of being like you So pure. so clean. so whole. I just need one more chance To rinse my eyes And wash away my blindness Wash away my sadness Wash my dependence Wash away my fear So i can give myself protection When you put me down So i can deal with disconnection When i hit the ground Get resistance to the infection That you spread around So i can declare my independence It's been so long so high This wall i've climbed So green so blue So real, surreal I'm home, i'm dry, i'm free I've washed my hands of the future
