lyrics

It was a shrug
a picture of a shrug
the land wakes up
its boots divided
'obelisk?' do I ask
where the tooth hits the pan
and the comments in the sinners hands
and I simmer in my underpants

where has this seer seen it all up to?
I am not awful but in the face of you
I am depraved and ignited
asleep when I'm sighted
relief to the blighted
comes chief for the knighted

what pattern subsumes
it's all and everything happens
there's no knowing You
without the balance

I'm torn and I'm true
but time is undoable
and no one
is bigger than the truth

I'm beside my self
it's insane how it all pans out
I don't think anything
would surprise me now
I've seen the worst we're giving each other
I've seen the best we're giving each other
when they owned the truth

no one's getting away from this
when I prioritise my preference over yours
I'm a thief when I expect you to be for me
I'm not a collaboration
nor welcome in heaven

free will is a line
free will is a line
free will is a line

I'm beside myself
it's insane how it all pans out
I don't think anything
would surprise me now
I've seen the worst
we're giving each other
I've seen the best
we're giving each other
when they owned the truth

free will is a line
free will is a line
free will is a line
free will is a line
free will is a line
free will is a line
free will is a line
