Atlas Volt - True Freedom lyrics

Time is slipping away Along the dreams of yesterday When thoughts are put into a cage Truth becomes an easy prey And words sometimes betray The meaning they ought to convey They shouldn't be left unsaid Say what you feel you need to say Freedom is wild and can't be tamed You're enslaved and you should be ashamed Rise up and break free from your chains And you'll feel how liberty is more Than a statue of steel No one can take away true Freedom Freedom, Freedom, Freedom Do things your own way Think for yourself don't be afraid Your hopes will carry their own weight Don't let your fears get in your way Wide awake you dream away As you're in a state of slow decay Try but you'll never wipe away The ideal that liberty is more Than a statue of steel No one can take away true Freedom Freedom, Freedom, Freedom Freedom bandied about as a conception But used instead as deception For a life we are compelled to live Instead of a life where we give and forgive Freedom Doesn't bear the stars and stripes Freedom Neither will proselytize No, no, no, no You can take away true… Freedom (Emancipation you will bring) Freedom (And your bell won't stop to ring) Freedom (If you question everything) Freedom You might find someday How liberties can go astray If you swear you won't wish them all away Then I got nothing more to say
