Skeleton Key

from Killer Tofu by Akoko

lyrics

Chorus
Free
Like the caged bird escaped to the sky I am fly, I am me,
I am free
Watch my spirit float to new heights
Watch my dreams come alive
I am free

Verse 1
[Sloane Amelia]
Yes, I was once lost, but now I am found (found)
Flyer than ever, my dreams know no boundaries
Those shackles that bounded me
The negativity surrounding me?
Gone. They’re No longer grounding me.
My heart sings a tune, a resounding beat, beat, beat
Amplification of good vibrations
peaceful syndications & loving sensations
this liberation of my mind and spirit
has brought a feeling of elation, no limitations with it
Yes, a generations misfit
but I’ve found my golden ticket

Free your mind, Erase the lines
Your shackles crumble at the key
Clear the fog, Love who you are
Systematic refugee

Chorus
Free
Like the caged bird escaped to the sky I am fly, I am me,
I am free
Watch my spirit float to new heights
Watch my dreams come alive
I am free

Verse 2
[Sugg Savage]
Un-subdued stallion.
Do I tip toe? No.
Gallivanting to the front of the line
Pedal to the metal,
rebel trouble, I befuddle
Minds in chains,
Computer chips for brains do amuse me
oh but they refuse me.
My Body elevates
from the weight the world creates
And feet are for land lovers
I got a cloud affair,
and you can find me there
Floating in the air
If you are captive,
why don’t you get away?
The world can either be your warden,
or be your escape.

Chorus
Free
Like the caged bird escaped to the sky I am fly, I am me,
I am free
Watch my spirit float to new heights
Watch my dreams come alive
I am free

Verse 3
Don’t fear it. Hear it. See it. Feel it. Breathe it.
Believe in it, let go, sense it, and be it. [Repeat]

Chorus
Free
Like the caged bird escaped to the sky I am fly, I am me,
I am free
Watch my spirit float to new heights
Watch my dreams come alive
I am free
