Oh society... You took it away from me When you brainwashed… - Alice Phoebe Lou

" "
Oh society... You took it away from me
When you brainwashed me with formulas of how I should be
Shaped me and raped me of my individuality
Schooled me and fooled me
Told me what I could and could not see
Took me and shook me
Of my urges to be free

It's all lies
And my limbs have danced for the Amsterdam sunrise
With not one restriction and not one disguise
Monotony is what I despise
Integration to society would be my demise
It's all lies

I saw you throw your hands in the air and say a prayer
Your eyes closed, your nose breathing in the salty air
There was nothing you could do to make me love you anymore

She looked out out to the horizon
She didn't have much left to see
Greed had taken the trees away
Greed had taken the bees away ...She looked up to where there should've been stars
