[Verse]
            
From the windo

             
w   I see the 

       
mountains
            
They roll like

             
 tidal waves a

         
cross the hori

zon
            
The rain casca

             
des down, like

           
 lava it consu

mes
            
Everything on 

             
its journey to

         
 the bottom

            
From the windo

             
w   I hear the

            
 aching groani

   
ng wind
            
It forces its 

             
way through th

             
e cracks onto 

    
my skin
            
I long to clim

             
b out, to be s

            
wept up in its

  
 wrath
              
But I can't br

            
eak through th

             
e bars that ke

    
ep me in


[Chorus]
             
There's nothin

            
g I want more 

            
then to sleep 

              
under a night 


sky
            
Hear the anima

             
ls as they go 

             
about their li


ves
            
Feel a fire wa

             
rm my body, fe

             
el the mud und

       
er my toes
            
But tonight th

             
is cell keeps 

      
me enclosed


[Verse]
            
The trees form

             
 a secret gree

         
n embrace
            
Their arms bec

             
koning to swal

             
low me whole
            
I want to clim

              
b over these r

           
ooftops    and

             
 over these fe

nces
            
And escape to 

             
the places non

              
e of these gua

          
rds would go


[Chorus]
             
There's nothin

            
g I want more 

            
then to sleep

But tonight th

[Verse]
            
Sitting here I

             
 prepare mysel

             
f for the futu

     
re
            
When instead o

             
f one month I 

              
could be here 

              
for years
            
  Would I lose

           
 hope,   would

            
 I take my lif

e
            
Or would we fi

              
nd a way to br

             
eak ourselves 

       
out of here?


[Chorus]
             
There's nothin

            
g I want more

Hear the anima

[Bridge]
            
For if we don'

edom if we are

            
 captured by t

        
heir iron hand

Then the visio

              
n for fire it 

             
burns so much 

      
more bright
            
There's no jus

              
tice in this s

             
ystem, a bigge

Well I hope th
