about

A song about subjugation.

lyrics

My eyes have been glued shut
Cos they're not good at seeing much
I'm shown a future as bright as day
They see a present in disarray

I must have been out of my mind to doubt
The promises they had made with such clout
I'm just glad they didn't kick me out
I'm just glad they didn't kick me out

I never thought to think of myself
As a donor of my sense of self
I sacrifice my own free will
For the good of the hope they instil

I'm such a fool to ever have thought
Such things make our weak minds take to rot
I'm just glad they didn't kick me out
I'm just glad they didn't kick me out

We lie between two worlds
Never fully awake
And yet never truly asleep
They say that sleep is for the weak
But we're too weak to wake up just yet
But I'm sure that some day they'll let
We must have faith that some day they'll let
Us (out?)
