lyrics

Free your mind from the space that you take up.
We’re in love with ourselves in need of a break up.
Defined by our fear and our makeup.
We’ve been sleeping for so long, in need of a wake-up.

Pre-Chorus

It’s like the lights are on,
but nobody’s home.
It’s like the lights are on,
but nobody’s home.
It’s like the lights are on,
but nobody’s home.
Yeah yeah yeah.

Chorus

Hey hey look around.
Ain’t no righteous man to be found.
So as for me and my house,
we’re gonna live like my maker says, my maker says.

Verse 2

Im tired of seeing souls pressed into molds,
no time for second guessing.
It’s really getting old,
simply doing what you're told’s no ticket into heaven.
Faith and love alone give me life, give me song,
Ain’t no question.
This world is not my own.
I’ll die alone before Ill ever change that message.

Pre-Chorus

It’s like the lights are on,
but nobody’s home.
More like the pied piper’s got you moving along.
It’s like the pied piper’s got you moving along.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Chorus

Hey hey look around.
Ain’t no righteous man to be found.
So as for me and my house,
we’re gonna live like my maker says, my maker says.

Bridge

Chorus

Hey hey look around.
Ain’t no righteous man to be found.
So as for me and my house,
we’re gonna live like my maker says, my maker says.
