Lyrics

I'm a refugee
With no identity
My body doesn't feel like me
My soul is a bedouin
Simply a digit
Just a cipher on the devil's row
Just a number, waiting to be gone
Just a number, waiting to be gone
I want a new life
I want a new life
The world and I are tired
Of life and its tactless knife
At the knees as it severs
No choice but surrender
Choked by our beads of lights
Our camp and we recamp
We camp and we recamp
We camp and we recamp
I want a new life
I want a new life
I'm a refugee
I'm a fugitive
I'm a refugee
I'm a fugitive
With no home
And no hope
I'm a refugee
I'm a fugitive
I'm a refugee
I'm a fugitive
With no home
And no hope
With no home
And no hope
Tell me, what good the ground
If we can't dance our pain out
If we can't scream our joy
Tell me, why use this air?
If we can elevate
Why use this time and space?
If we can elevate
If we can elevate
I want a new life
I want a new life
I want a new life
I want a new life
I want a new life
