[Intro] Still got that sugar on my tongue, yeah I taste it But tonight, tonight I’m weightless Let it drown, let it drown in the waves, yeah [Verse1] Let it drown, let it drown, watch the pain sink down Let it drown, let it drown, I ain’t wearing that crown Tonight I’m weightless, let it drown, let it drown!! [Drop version for the beat switch] Drown, drown, drown, everything I survived Drown, drown, drown, now I’m finally alive Pain in my body but the trauma gon’ die tonight Let it drown, let it drown, yeah the old me wave goodbye [Verse 2] I dragged these pains for a thousand days Through the mud and the shame and the haze Every promise I broke, every lie that I spoke Throw another heart break into the fate I was buried alive in the bed that I made Screaming your name through the hate [Pre-Chorus – drums start creeping in, bass slides] But I feel it cracking The cage is collapsing I hear ten thousand voices calling me… [Chorus – HUGE, lights up, whole band slams in] I WANNA BE FREE! Rip the sky, let it bleed on me I WANNA BE FREE! Burn the past in effigy I WANNA BE FREE! Burn the past in effigy If I fall tonight, let me fall in flight With my arms wide open I JUST WANNA BE FREE! (Free… free… free…) [Verse 2 – half-time, heavier, palm-muted] I forgave every nightmare that haunted this skin I forgave myself for letting them in The bottle, the shade, the pills and the pain They don’t own me anymore I’m done being the martyr, done playing the corpse Tonight I’m kicking down the door [Pre-Chorus 2 – building, toms rolling] I feel the rocks shaking The whole my whole world is quaking Red Rocks, are you ready to carry me… [Chorus – EVEN BIGGER, octave higher on the last line] I WANNA BE FREE! (FREE...FREE...FREE!!) Let the wind tear the scream from me I WANNA BE FREE! I WANNA BE FREE! Watch the ashes dance in the breeze If I die tonight, let me die alight With my heart wide open (Wide open!!) I JUST WANNA BE FREE! [Chorus – EVEN BIGGER, octave higher on the last line] I WANNA BE FREE! (FREE...FREE...FREE!!) I JUST WANNA BE FREE! [Chorus – EVEN BIGGER, octave higher on the last line] I WANNA BE FREE! (FREE...FREE...FREE!!) I JUST WANNA BE FREE! (Free… free… free…) [Bridge – breakdown, almost spoken over one distorted chord, crowd clapping in unison] All my life I was crawling All my life I was falling No more… no more
