about

So, this is a little different for me! I'm going through my own personal Summer Of Love phase. My George Harrison in India phase. Sans LSD.

lyrics

Breaking Chains

breaking chains and slipping free
you held on too tight for me
leave me here and let me be
I'll disappear
I'll disappear
I'll disappear
into the sea

shedding skin and catching breeze
I held on too long to me
just stay here and you will see
my life appear
my life appear
my life appear
into the scene

break the chains
slip free
shed the skin
catch my breeze
this cannot be overseen
you cannot know what I mean
I have become
serene
I have become
obscene
like mescaline

kicking ass and taking names
way too long I played your games
if I was you I'd run away
you lose today
you lose today
you fall today
into your grave
