Holy shit this song has a major identity crisis. It started as a country tune then got crazy morbid so i tried to rock it a little harder but i think it needs to be faster now.
When i sat down to write this I looked up the definition of freedom. "The absence of necessity" which means literally to have nothing. Well who wants nothing? So, you're only truly free when you die. This one will probably get a rewrite and i will never start a verse again with a major 7th chord. It really pigeon holed me into the verse melody. This one was a bear! Thanks AG!
lyrics
Life, is a scheme
What can I do for you
What will you give to me
The absence of necessity
Will never be a part of my reality
And You can't believe why any one would want to get away or try to leave
As long as I'm here I'm never gonna be free
Somethings always gonna have a hold on me
When the fall no longer rises
When the suns no longer shining
And I'm off to new horizons
That's when I'll be free
Life is a dream
It's not the same for you as it is for me
Time moves fast and we just can't breathe
Can't break chains that we never see
I dont understand
how the Angels of our nature can destroy our plans
Its happening and I'll never be free
Yeah somethings always gonna have a hold on me
When the fall no longer rises
When the suns no longer shines
And I'm off to new horizons
That's when I'll be
Free to run free to fly
Free from pain locked up inside
Free from truth you can't deny
When the fall no longer rises
When the suns no longer shines
And the man he comes a calling
That's when I'll be free
