From A Second Story Window - Stolen Lands lyrics

I need release I pose a simple question Are we allowed to exist with fear There seems to be a new consensus One that guides us all through life To hold us all here together And allow the free to fly Viewing the spirit from the other side Is a guide to inner truth Follow the spirit and allow your soul to glide Allow me to show you truth There's always been the same dimensions That allow us all to try To see ourselves in true potential And allow the free to fly To simply look in the mirror Cannot show you all you need Will you look in the mirror And tell me what you see I've run so long I must escape There is only so much that I can take Their approval means nothing This is something I will not give them To fly, to fall Is knowing that I am alive I have given up and I have given in I have shed my wings away
