For Agreements Lyrics

We started dreaming before we really knew what that was

We started agreeing to the laws and the lies they gave us

How can we be free

Of what we're taught to be

Even if freedom means rejecting

Everything we thought we needed to be

How can we be free

Of what we're meant to be

Even when freedom means accepting

Everything we thought that we couldn't need

We're not free

Our twisted image of what a perfect world is made of

It keeps us spinning on the spindle of the wheel that tamed us

But we keep on dreaming a dream we never seem to wake up

From the beginning our fairy tales our nightmares

enslave us

How can we be free

Of what we're taught to be

Even if freedom means rejecting

Everything we thought we needed to be

We're not free

We can't see our own dysfunction

The clouded mirror in front of us

So we believe what we're instructed

Until our truth is covered up

We are more than what we've been through

It's time that we define who we are

It's time that I decide who I am

It's time that you declare who you are

We are more than what we've been through

It's time that we decide

Who told you it's impossible

That you never had a chance

Who told you what perfection was

And put your fate in their hands

Who told you it's impossible

That they never had a chance

Who showed you what dysfunction was

And put their fate in your hands

How can we be free

Of what we're taught to be

Even if freedom means rejecting

Everything we thought we needed to be

How can we be free

Of what we're meant to be

Even when freedom means accepting

Everything we thought that we couldn't need

We're not free
