Lyrics

Free

I'd lose everything so I can sing Hallelujah, I'm free (I'm free, I'm free) I have lived my life so perfectly Kept to all my lines so carefully I'd lose everything so I can sing Hallelujah, I'm free I'm free, I'm free

I'm free, I'm free, I'm free Hallelujah, I'm free Gritting your teeth, you hold onto me It's never enough, I'm never complete Tell me to prove, expect me to lose I push it away, I'm trying to move Hoping for more, and wishing for less When I didn't care was when I did best

I'm desperate to run, I'm desperate to leave If I lose it all, at least I'll be free All I want is your attention please Don't want your opinion or your fee 'Cause the freest I have ever been I had nothing to show or be seen I'm free, I'm free I'm free, I'm free

Gritting your teeth, you hold onto me It's never enough, I'm never complete Tell me to prove, expect me to lose I push it away, I'm trying to move Hoping for more, and wishing for less I didn't care was when I did best I'm desperate to run, I'm desperate to leave If I lose it all, at least I'll be free

Gritting your teeth, you hold onto me It's never enough, I'm never complete Tell me to prove, expect me to lose I push it away, I'm trying to move Hoping for more, and wishing for less I didn't care was when I did best I'm desperate to run, I'm desperate to leave If I lose it all, at least I'll be free

It's clear you think that I'm inferior Whatever helps you sleep at night Whatever helps you keep it tight It's clear you think that I'm inferior Whatever helps you sleep at night Whatever helps you keep it tight Gritting your teeth, you hold onto me It's never enough, I'm never complete

Tell me to prove, expect me to lose I push it away, I'm trying to move Hoping for more, and wishing for less When I didn't care was when I did best I'm desperate to run, I'm desperate to leave If I lose it all, at least I'll be free Gritting your teeth, you hold onto me It's never enough, I'm never complete

Tell me to prove, expect me to lose I push it away, I'm trying to move Hoping for more, and wishing for less I didn't care was when I did best I'm desperate to run, I'm desperate to leave If I lose it all, at least I'll be free Hallelujah, I'm free

Broods on Dork

Where to start with Bad Sounds’ collaborations and remixes

From a Bristol-scene meeting with Tungz to a guest turn from BROODS, these tracks map out Bad Sounds’ collaborative side beyond their own lead singles.

Broods: “We’re not holding anything back.”

Broods return with their second album, and they’ve never felt more themselves.

Broods - Conscious

Broods are going for it good and proper.
