Lyrics

Thalamus

Choose...

Jesus... I fucking hate this shit...

On the count of three... You got this...

Making money, save my mind

Made up manic form you fake

FUCK YOU!

Close your eyes and believe

Believe that the garden is all that you need

Believe you must bow to your knees

Believe what you wanna believe

...Just believe (I'm free, I'm free, I'm free)

I'M FREE!

...ALIVE!

I'm MASTER!

...AND COMMANDER!

...OF MY LIFE!

...OF MY FATE!

...OF MY FAITH

...IN US!

We're all we have now...

Alone

We're all we have now...

Who?
