Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once I hoped to seek the new unknown
This planet's overrun
There's nothing left for you or for me
Don't give in
We can walk through the fields
And feeling nature's glow
But all the land is owned
There's none left for you or for me
[Verse 2]
Who will win?
'Cause I concede
[Verse 3]
Free me
Free me
Free me from this world
I don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning my soul
Can you free me
Free me from this world?
[Verse 4]
A world lush in bloom
With rivers running wild
They'll be rerouted South
With none left for you or for me
Don't give in
And hear the engines roar
And save our crops from drought
And when the black gold's in doubt
There's none left for you or for me
[Verse 5]
Fuse Helium-3
Our last hope
[Verse 6]
Free me
Free me
Free me from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls
Can you free me
Free me from this world?
[Verse 7]
Free me
I'll free you
Free us from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls
Can you free me
Free me from this world?
[Verse 8]
Free me
Free me
Free me from this world
We don't belong here, it was a mistake imprisoning our souls
(Running around in circles feeling caged by endless rules)
Can you free me
Free me from this world?
[Verse 9]
Shh, go to sleep
