How long till I can free us?
I'll give it everything
How long till they can't take our lives away?
How long till we can be ourselves?
How long till we believe again?

What's left to say?
Have they suffered for nothing?
Had a foot in the door
Back-tracked, and it slammed in my face
Had I listened with ears
Had I felt with my hands
Maybe I could have provided some type of substance
In the lives of some sick men who can't even think
They repeat information
Memorized text lines like it was their vocation
Who am I to criticize?
Like water evaporates
I disappeared through the gate
My life's work incinerates
Obliterated what I stated lest I be incarcerated

How long till I can free us?
I'll give it everything
How long till they can't take our lives away?
How long till we can be ourselves?
How long till we believe again?

Be my muse tonight
Be my muse tonight
Be my muse tonight
On the road to fixed, fixed, fixed, fixed, fixed!

How long till I can free us?
I'll give it everything
How long till they can't take our lives away?
How long till we can be ourselves?
How long till we believe again?
