Do you remember when we were free?
Everyday was innocent
Time was endless
Life at its best
But when the snakes came for me
Nothing could set me free
There's nothing left
A child with no rest
Wake me up
Let me out of my head
I toss and turn
Until the light pulls my eyes back
All I can think about
Is everything I lack
I can't forget
All my mistakes
And the sound their voices make
They sleep
I'm awake
I can't forget
I just can't forget
Do you remember the days when we were free?
I want them back
I toss and turn
Until the light pulls my eyes back
All I can think about
Is everything I lack
Do you remember when we were free?
A vapor is all that remains of me
Just breathe
But I can't breathe
No I can't breathe
The rest of my lungs
Were stolen from me
By the creators
Of lust and greed
I can't breathe
Do you remember the days when we were free?
I want them back
