lyrics

One day all my dreams got squashed
By the madness of this world
I sit before you now a human wreck
A yarn of glide and purl
I got more stories than I can count
They swirl about me like a symphony
It’s at this point I’d like to interject
As humble as I can be
I’d like to make the smallest request
Won’t you hear my plea
Please set me free

The air down here don’t it smell so good
Like the devil’s been cooking up rotten eggs
People try to get on down, get on down
But they stand on wobbly legs
No one seems to know how they got here
But it feels like an eternity
It’s at this point I’d like to interject
As humble as I can be
I’d like to make the smallest request
Won’t you hear my plea
Please set me free

Well you know you hold the key
Won’t you hear my plea
Won’t you please set me free

Sometimes I think I died years ago
In that crash on Highway 46
It’s like an episode of the Twilight Zone
Where suddenly I didn’t exist
There was the before and there is the now
And there is no shared history
It’s at this point I’d like to interject
As humble as I can be
I’d like to make the smallest request
Won’t you hear my plea
Please set me free
