Velvet Noose

Sense of secure, security
You do what you're told, don't care to leave
Confined by thought, brainwashed at night
Forget that you were born with any given right
Care to see with clarity?
Get up and knock your life off your tree

Can you hear me breathing while you watch me swinging
From that velvet noose?

Sense of stability, stability
Keeps you locked down in complacency
What if this call to what life holds?
Move on, forget the things that you were told before

Can you hear me breathing while you watch me swinging
From that velvet noose?
Put your arms around me, work until you
Cut me, cut me loose, cut me loose, cut me loose

Swinging, swinging, swinging from that velvet noose
Breathing, breathing, breathing, cut me loose

Cut me loose, yeah, cut me loose
Cut me loose, cut

Can you hear me breathing while you watch me swinging
From that velvet noose?
Put your arms around me, work until you
Cut me, cut me loose, cut me loose, cut me loose
Cut me loose, I said, cut me loose, oh, cut me loose
Come on, I beg of you, cut me loose, oh yeah

Swinging, swinging, swinging, cut me loose
Oh, breathing, oh, breathing, oh, breathing
I'm hanging on now, I'm hanging on now
