lyrics

Standing in the mirror knowing
I cant be the one you choose
Hoping something clearer comes to take away
These lonesome blues
I can’t help believing that you're leaving when I know that its true

I don't feel differently but I hang my things from the killing tree
I know its imagery but I lay my head on the guillotine and I plead
That they’ll set me free

I’m not thru pretending that the enemy don't look like me
One of us is sending these vibrations here mistookenly
And I don't have the patience to replace the man they took me to be

I don't see differently
But I keep on listening to Village Green
Mama they killin me
With their needless possibilities
And I plead
That they'll set me free

I know its time
I know its time
I know its time, but I don't wanna leave here
I know its time
I know its time
I know its time, but I don't wanna leave here

Empty out your pockets and deliver your authentic self
We’ll put all your gadgets on a little alphabetic shelf
You don't have to worry we’ll return when you’re somebody else

I don't feel differently
but I hang my things from the killing tree
I know its just imagery but I lay my head on the guillotine
And I plead
That they'll set me free
I plead
that they’ll set me free
that they'll set me free
