lyrics

I asked for you to let me stay,
but I never thought I'd ask you to let me leave.
I was pounding my head against the wall
and the walls were cavin' in
and the walls consumed me
and I became the wall.

We were shackled at the hip
by this ancient wormhole pipeline
and I’m compelled to believe
and I'm compelled to ask you to let me leave.
Let me leave, let me leave,
let me leave, let me leave!

Surrogate Father says to me,
"It’s within the realm of human beings."
Where were you when I was sick to my stomach?
Where were you when I needed to sleep beside you?
Let me leave, let me leave!
I read the poem you sent about me.
The one about the way I was before ya.
I would still do almost anything
to stand as proud and oblivious as ya.
Can you hear the shackles pullin'?
Can you hear the shackles pullin'?
Let me leave, let me leave!

Can you hear me asking this now?
Can you remember the time of day?
let me leave let me leave let me leave let me leave let me leave
Can you hear the shackles pullin'?
Can you hear the shackles pullin'?
