lyrics

2 am

Ah, you say
You are a slave
To your belief in me
I'm here to set you free

Ah, you say
You are a slave
To your belief in me
I'm here to set you free


I'm not gonna take it
I do not have the patience
Controlling your absence
Withholding your presence

I'm not gonna take it
I do not have the patience
For philosophical treatises
You got something to teach me?

Like Axl Rose in the eighties
I do not have the "Patience"
For your stoic persuasion
A logical presentation

I'm not gonna take it
I do not have the patience
To build a castle you're burning down
A king who crushes his own crown

You're scared you might find yourself happy
Get a little bit "Sappy," but

You don't know
You don't know
You don't know
Me

Nothing's real
You cannot see
You cannot feel
You cannot be
Here
With me

Ah, you say
You are a slave
To your belief in me
I'm here to set you free

Ah, you say
You are a slave
To your belief in me
I'm here to set you free
