[Verse 1]

I've been living in suspense

No one playing my defense

Served my sentence on a silver platter

Never serves me well

I've been scratching at the walls

Rubbed my fingernails raw

Making plans for when I break the fence down

If it breaks at all

[Pre-Chorus]

I take a train along the countryside

Forever since I saw a real sunrise

Dance through a blizzard on a winter night

Take desperate measures in these desperate times

[Chorus]

Come hell or high water, set me free

[Verse 2]

I remember who I was

I remember feeling loved

Now everyone I knew is long forgotten

Just another life they've stolen

I remember chasing birds

When every muscle didn't hurt

I told my sister we could play forever

God, where is she now?

[Pre-Chorus]

I hope she thinks of me from time to time

I pray she finds a better life than mine

Will she be there across the railroad lines?

I scream the heroes of these desperate times

[Chorus]

Come hell or high water, set me free

[Bridge]

The thunder dances in the sky

I think I see the water rise

Time has come to break the fence

The time has come to play defense

Time has come to win the game

I'm not a face without a name

Time has come to make the water come and set me free

Ahhhh

Ahh-ahh-ahhhh

Ahh-ahh-ahhhh

Ahh-ahh-ahhhh

Ahh-ahh-ahhhh

[Outro]

I see high water, I see the desperate times

I see high water, I see high water

I see high water, I see the railroad lines

I see high water, I see high water

I see high water, I see the desperate times

I see high water, I see high water

I see high water, I see the railroad lines

I see high water, I see high water

I see high water, I see the desperate times

I see high water, I see high water
