We were born in captivity
and we’ve tried to swallow the keys
as the world that we think belongs to us
slowly sinks into the sea.
I’ve tried hard to be civilized,
I’ve tried so hard to be cruel.
I can’t sleep or look you in the eye.
I get so lost when I follow these rules,
but I do it for you.
You know I do it for you.
I don’t want to be civilized
and I don’t feel quite at home.
I don’t need to be civilized
but I’ve got nowhere else to go.
I’ve tried hard to be civilized
I’ve tried so hard to be cruel.
I can’t sleep or look you in the eye anymore.
I just want to get free.
I want to get free.
We were born in captivity
and we’ve tried to swallow the keys.
