about

Obviously this is a Free Radt song if there ever was one! Kris Jenkins wrote the lyrics to this song, and Jeremy added a few. We are not tied into any form of control as long as we stand up against it! No matter what we must stick to our guns and only let in what serves us best. We can listen to the false beliefs of others or listen to fake news or listen to lies, but it never serves our true purpose when we don't listen to ourselves! Lies and deception are often disguised, but it is easy to see through the veil and know the truth.

lyrics

I got this sickness this disease
runnin' through me and it's plaguing me.
This loneliness I caress
the paranoia insecurity.

And it won't leave me alone just as long as I can fucking breathe!
One look from you brought me to my knees.

The devil's mouth is open wide,
and it has sucked you in.
It's disguised as a pretty face,
but underneath the skin,

It's the place that is filled
with the lies and the guilt
I am feelin' again and again.
No need to act like a man,
cos the fire is already burnin'
much hotter than I can stand.

Set me free!
I'm not a slave to the system
that you built for me.

The devil's mouth is open wide,
and it has sucked you in.
It's disguised as a pretty face,
but underneath the skin,

It's the place that is filled
with the lies and the guilt
I am feelin' again and again.
No need to act like a man,
cos the fire is already burnin'
much hotter than I can stand.

I'm not a slave
to the system you built for me.
I'm not a slave
to my insecurities.
I'm not a slave.
I'm not paranoid.
I'm not a slave
to the system that you built for me.

The devil's mouth is open wide,
and it has sucked you in.
It's disguised as a pretty face,
but underneath the skin,

It's the place that is filled
with the lies and the guilt
I am feelin' again and again.
No need to act like a man,
cos the fire is already burnin'
much hotter than I can stand.
