Martin Luther King Jr - Release Me lyrics

[Verse 1] Someone save me I think I'm lost again My mind is stranded abandoned Chained by the mannequins I don't know where this is Or where this is begins Or where it ends I'm incarcerated with a sin I move in circles and hurdles Handled by others' will I see the truth But in fear of d**h I deny it still I live in boxes on boxes Trapped with a gun to k** The will from within To make me hollow like the rest of them I'm the boy with no purpose Who makes the streets his focus I'm the girl with no focus Who leaves her body open I'm the man barely floating From a job where he's choking And the woman he's choking Staying not to provoke him I'm the parent whose need for getting Bleeds from the children A hopeless child who thinks dreams are a joke That they're missing I lost my way Okay But that's the last it's happening I broke the mold I'm plastic free Release me from the mannequins [Chorus 4x] This is the end The end of the Mannequins Let me go Release me [Verse 2] Blind from the lies Deaf to the hate I smell the bull Because there ain't a mask on my face If this is a competition I don't want to race Playing with the walking dead Running in the wrong race Hollow minds paper-chasing just to fill the space To seal the emptiness with paper-cuts and dead weight Prostituted from the cash of the Devil's plate Infect the radio and zombify the human race What does it mean to be a mediocre king With followers injected with a mediocre dream Deflecting your projections on their inner worth it seems For your cancerous direction burning deep inside their veins Lets Get with the change Melting the molds Plastic or not The truth will unfold Yeah you were washed Time and again But now you're off the clock I release you from the mannequins [Chorus 4x] This is the end The end of the Mannequins Let me go Release me [Speech: Martin Luther King Jr.] We shall overcome Deep in my heart, I do believe We shall overcome You know, I've joined hands so often with students And others behind jail bars singing it We shall overcome Sometimes we've had tears in our eyes When we joined together to sing it But we still decided to sing it We shall overcome Oh, before this victory's won Some will have to get thrown in jail some more But we shall overcome Don't worry about us Before the victory's won Some of us will lose jobs But we shall overcome Before the victory's won Even some will have to face physical d**h But if physical d**h is the price that some must pay To free their children from a Permanent psychological d**h Then nothing shall be more redemptive We shall overcome
