FREE

I BEEN TREADING WATER
DIGGING A HOLE
FOR MYSELF ON DRY LAND
I KEEP GOING
THROUGH THE MOTIONS
WHEN I SHOULD BE ABLE TO STAND
FLIP A SWITCH
TURN ME ON
BULLETS WAS FLYING
YET I FELT SO ALIVE
IT’S HABITUAL AS ALL
NOW I’M JUST TRYING
TO SURVIVE

BEFORE TREADING WATER
I HAD A MISSION A PURPOSE
A REASON TO LIVE
IT BURNS IN THE BRAIN
THE **** YOU CAN’T UNSEEN
LEAVES A STAIN
FLIP A SWITCH, TURN ME ON
BULLETS WAS FLYING
YET I FELT SO ALIVE
IT’S HABITUAL AS ALL
NOW I’M JUST TRYING
TO SURVIVE
BECAUSE LOVE
WAS ALWAYS WAITING
YEAH LOVE,
IS ALWAYS WAITING FOR ME

I’M DONE TREADING WATER
I GOT A LIFE JACKET ON
& I’M STANDIN ON SOLID GROUND
GOT, HOPE, AND A PLAN FOR TOMORROW
I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO DREAM AGAIN
FLIP A SWITCH,
TURN ME ON
NO MORE BULLETS FLYIN
NOW I AM TRULLY ALIVE
CAUSE LOVE WAS ALWAYS WAITING
YEAH LOVE,
WAS ALWAYS WAITING FOR ME
