Insane
You can't white-knuckle your way to freedom. Insane is about the moment you realise the answer was never out there, it was in letting go of the reins.
Written and performed by The Embassy Project. From the album Sealed (2016).
Lyrics
I've been searching for most of my life, looking for an answer
I've been waiting for my fortunes to change, but luck is a stranger
I want a little piece of good life, I want the sun to shine on me
Well, I must be insane to think my life's gonna change without a change in me
Well, I've been waiting for most of my life, looking to the distance
And I've been waiting for the rails to be greased, but I'm the resistance
When will good things come to me? When will I get my free ride?
Well, I must be insane to think my life's gonna change from the outside
I've played this game before, I've learned to live my way
But if nothing changes, then nothing changes, and I'm still the same today
I've held the reins tight all my life
Yes, I'm the king of me, and the tighter I hold, the more I seem to lose control
I just want to be free
I've been searching for most of my life, looking for an answer
But it's been standing right in front of my eyes, it's found in surrender
