Nieman - Seen lyrics

[Verse 1] Smoke and the scream Cloud up my lungs Say I can't breathe Oh tell me what I have done Problems of old God, I'm still young Take these chains off So maybe my soul can run [Chorus] What have you seen, child? What have you seen? To see a nightmare Before the dream What have you seen, child? What have you seen? I saw lives lost in the Land of the Free I saw blood shed in the land of the free [Verse 2] While you walk free I'm fast asleep Heart full of lead But still your hands are clean God, I'm still young Don't take this from me I know only pain And with it is tragedy [Chorus] [Outro] I'd rather sleep Stay away from my reality I'd rather sleep No use in staying up If my whole worlds upside down Turn the tables back around I don't wanna wake Another day In the same old state Like we hit replay oh No If we all think we're right Then what would be left? If an eye equals an eye Then what would be next Oh, I'd rather sleep Then see My world fall Around me
