Im Free by Evan Schafer Lyrics

I used to not understand the world and its turns
All the angles and the swirling and the contrasts
I used to not understand the person throwing verbs at my face
Pastures wide and gasping for air and burying me

I no longer reply when wires are crossed
The Spaniard dancing on the table to a jaunty beat asks me to dance
I no longer reply when fissures become dizzying, opulent passions
Trashing the din of a bubble undermined by questionable fears

Before I cry
Please, my dear, let me go free
After these many coincidental years
Finally, I am free

I determine rationally the western winds whipping my backside
Every slap of the drum, instant and eloquent and quarrelling
I’ve loosened beyond my years, assuredly playing my fric-fracking, steering clear
One of these days I’ll send for you in violet castrations

Clawing at the edge of the cliff begging to return as a stone
You’ll never be justified, don’t try to redeem the audience’s praise
Here’s to hoping your shakes buy out your dreams while you’ve got them
And rest for the rest for the rest of your time here
