Lyrics

[Verse 1] What great risk to truly live We could die alone Our self-proclaimed meaning of bliss Is getting what we're owed It's always getting what we're owed I am like a machine, all that I really need Is medicine and then I'll fall fast asleep In my dreamlike state I'll pretend I'm unscathed But when I wake up my resilience fades When I wake up my resilience fades [Pre-Chorus] How long? How long? How long, long? [Chorus] I know there's more to life than slavery, I'm tired of dying I know there's more to life than drinking this soul sick medicine [Verse 2] Oh no, no I'll never listen or do what I'm told At twenty-four you'd think I'd hold my speech Instead I'll mix you a cocktail, some truth and some slander And never practice what I preach And never practice what I preach [Pre-Chorus] How long? How long? How long, long? [Chorus] I know there's more to life than slavery, I'm tired of dying I know there's more to life than drinking this soul sick medicine [Chorus] I know there's more to life than slavery, I'm tired of dying I know there's more to life than drinking this soul sick medicine I know there's more to life, I know there's more to life I know there's more I know there's more to life than drinking this soul sick medicine
