Lyrics:
Free my brain
Burn away these chains
Theres a light from the sun
Begging me to come on up
And try to unleash, The person you see

Breathe, just breathe
Primitive release
Its yourself that you need
Your perfect being is gone
A natural machine
Do you know what I mean?

Taken by the instinct, taken outta me
And I get, And I get why you gotta be free
I want it more and I cant ignore
And the population puts you in a cage
And you get, and you get why we got all this rage
Im wondering more who we were before

Birds and bees
Dancing in the breeze
Theres a love in the air
Felt by all who carry on
The simplest things
How they got no way

Taken by the instinct
Taken outta me
I forget, I forget
What its like to be me
I cant ignore who I was before
And the population puts you in a cage
You forget, you forget why we got all this rage
We're losing more
Than we can afford

Take my mind and erase it please
Condition all the hot air I breathe
Dont drive me
Just want me
Im happy
Riding
The world that is
Spinning around

Taken by the instinct, taken outta me
And I get, and I get why you gotta break free
I want it more than I can ignore
And the population, lock it in a cage
And you get, and you get why we got all this rage
Im wondering more who we were before
