lyrics

He's gotta run, escape this feeling he hates
Well the mind he explored then became a cage
Through the city walls in a dormant age
He needs the sun to rise beyond the mountain rage
And in his golden years he became enslaved
And he was unaware until the apostles came
So get your papers signed cause you're a document
And hold the guides hand through the ill content

And the cruel kids, they broke your legs
And you were left in the woods as easy prey
And you crawled through the mud to find a hiding place
Where you were safe from the wolves but you couldn't stay
And you grew up jaded with a shoulder gaze
You couldn't trust your comrades through the turning wave
And you tried to change say you're a different man
But the fruit you chase is in the devil's hand
Well some thing's missing

I'm going to breathe in this wild wind
Grow fur over this metal skin
Cause i'm an animal and it's the digital age
Where they cut down the forest for a light in a cage

Some thing's missing
I told you it's missing

Wear your soul tight, let it lighten your feet
