lyrics:
Every mornin we wake
To find more mystery
In the bones we pick
Past destiny
More and more things
Cloudin’ our brain
Makin more rumors
Like coffee stain
And ugly looks good
In a sea of shame
Like a bad penny
In a numbers game
Playing the odds
Of beauty or beast
With a crystal ball
Blessed by a priest
Oh easy ain’t so easy
Oh free me from me
More and more light
Into our eyes
With the color blue
And petty lies
Maybe what’s more
Is less and less
Givin’ the truth
A new address
Maybe the right
Is staring us down
As we’re tied tight
To the merry go round
Breath in deep
As the crow flies
Exhale slow
Losing all ties
Oh easy ain’t so easy
Oh free me from me
Those fears, they’ve got you, by the throat
Those tears, release yourself, don’t choke
The walls are down
Purge the sins
Give the light
Where love begins
Climb the clouds
Make a sun rise
No more a slave
To material’s prize
Unlock the wish
With a new key
To find the peace
And simplicity
Freedom is work
To lessons learned
Face the mirror
And feel the burn
Oh easy ain’t so easy
Oh free me from me
Oh easy ain’t so easy
Oh free me from me
liner notes:
A song about how sometimes the easiest things are not so easy - how we can be possessed by not being able to change. What do we need in order to change?
