I would break from the hive if I could only survive
And I would be free of the crowd if I could find my way out
Find a place that's untamed if there were any unclaimed
And I'd know what's beautiful if it were based on the soul
Disconnect from the consumptive excess
That just leaves you wanting
Though understood by all the pure and the good
To conform is a duty
In the end my mind will always defend the wild that reclaims me
I'd leave the world that I'm from if there were some place to run
And I'd know how to escape if there were chains I could break
Make a treacherous claim if there were someone to blame
And I would finally be free if I could just escape me
In my dreams it's the sea stretched before me
Waves of chaos and salt that restore me
It's the sky that will let my mind wonder
And the land will take care of my body
