lyrics

The harrow is tightening, and
The mountains are beyond the lightning
I wish I could call you
And ask you,

“What should I do?”

Your morphine eye
It wanted to speak
Your morphine eye
It could still hear our conversations
And it fought the mountain of sleep
It left us there to fight and weep

And right now
This minute
This second
And the second that just passed

I am just fine
In the presence
Of malice-handed minds

And here by myself
With America on my sleeve
I wish I could ask you,

"When will I be free?"

I will be released
I will be released

I did not know that you were waiting
You could have told me
I wouldn’t listen
This protection is a sickness
No freedom that can live within it

So many things
I have come to regret
I will live them all
Until the judgement

It can drive me to madness
I’ve no nest, or no net
Oh, but I have you!

And we will be released together
Before this is all through

And here by myself
Reading the cumulus and cirrus peaks
I wish you could tell me,

“You are now free”

And here by myself
With America on my sleeve
Oh, how I wish I could just ask you
When will I be free?

I will be released
I will be released
I will be released

I leaned too hard on the big machines
And it’s too late to get on the lean
I need to keep my mind in the clear,
And let it dream

I pray to be with friends
For the next arraignment
They’re all I have left in the face of containment
On Sundays, I’m surrounded by those that I love
I wish those days would never end

And right now
This minute
This second
And the second that just passed

I am just fine
In the presence
Of all of those who are kind

And here by myself
With america on my sleeve
Oh lord, how I wish I could ask you
When will I be free?
I will be released
I will be released

I will be released
I will be released
I will be released
