"Not Like You" lyrics

"Not Like You"

I may be a bird in a cage
But at least I have my wings
Yours were sawed off with your talons put in chains
It's not your fault
But you are locked up just the same
Nobody told you could fly
They told you nobody needs wings
And one day my door will open and I will fly free
These shackles will be broken and you will see
That I am drifting, sifting through the sands of time
I will squeeze all the juices
I won't leave one drop behind
I am never alone
Because I have you by my side
And though we are followed by the rules in the dark
We will always need the sunrise, need

I am not like you, I cannot be bend into that mold
And I can never be convinced
It's true that you can only see what you are told
And in my daydream underneath the endless sky
I cannot sleep, I cannot sleep
And watch the night pass me by
That I am drifting, sifting through the sands of time
I will squeeze all the juices
I won't leave one drop behind
I am never alone
Because I have you by my side
And though we are followed by the rules in the dark
We will always need the sunrise, need, need, need, need
Yeah...
That I am drifting, sifting through the sands of time
I will squeeze all the juices
I won't leave one drop behind
I am never alone
Because I have you by my side
And though we are followed by the rules in the dark
We will always need the sunrise, need, need, need, need...
