MIYAVI

You must close your eyes, you can see
Once you break your arms, you can touch
Once you cut your legs, you can fly
Once you kill your breath, you can feel yourself

Who blindfolds your eyes, is you
Who straps up your wings, is you
Who drags down your legs, is you
Who rules out your dreams, is also you

Everything that's chaining you comes from your own inner world

Break yourself free from your mind
Liberate your feet from the mind
Once get you released, from the universe

Tonight

Break yourself free from your mind
Liberate your feet from the mind
Once get you released, from the universe

Now open your eyes, you are in nowhere
