lyrics

V1.

When I left home I made a promise, to wrestle hopes from tragedies.
Though I went cold & hungry from rejection; someone that I couldn't see would shadow me through thick & through thin.

It's hard to see which way is open, when viewing through a cloudy lens. And in my hast, got pulled in 2 directions. 1 led to eternity, the other to a shallow grave.

Ch.

Funny how when times are hard & all I see is lunacy surrounding me; I choose to be free.

Funny how when times are hard & all I see is misery surrounding me; I choose to be free.

V2.

So now let's grow & push for progress. And build our own communities.
Let's raise em up & drink to imperfection. Cause some things in my memory remind how I shouldn't be.

Well no one ever chose THE TURNIP. But in fertile soil, plant THE SEED. Well I became a force with one reflection. And obviously MY TURNIP SEED it sprouted to a SHADY TREE.

Ch.

Funny how when times are hard & all I see is lunacy surrounding me; I choose to be free.

Funny how when times are hard & all I see is misery surrounding me; I choose to be free.

BR.

Funny how when times are hard & things are bad, most would rather turn their heads than face reality.

Funny how when times are hard & all I see is slavery; I choose to be free.
