Lyrics

In the nightclub of my mind, I'm doing cocaine in the cloakroom
Come on, set me free from my vain and selfish ways
For in the gemstones of your eyes, I see stars that shine forever
So come on, set me free from my vain and selfish ways

Your companionship will keep me on the dance floor of the commune
And from the road to ruin, I'll emerge a better me
And from the corner of my eye, I see the darkness always follows
Thought by now you know that I know only sadness sets me free

Sadness sets me free
Only sadness sets me free

In the mirror of the truth, there's a question mark of candor
Come on, set me free from my vain and selfish ways
From the showroom of your heart I see the courage of a kestrel
So come on, set me free from my vain and selfish ways

Your commitment could coerce me into fitful coexistence
My persistence will be boundless, and the future wide and clear
But in the corner of my heart is a kernel of resistance
And by now you know that I know only sadness sets me free

Sadness sets me free
Only sadness sets me free

The beam of your moon lights those rocks in my way
Your laughter evaporates the struggles of a deer
But in the shallowing sea of life, there's the longboat of frustration
Cursing without comfort, only sadness sets me free

Sadness sets me free
Only sadness sets me free
Sadness sets me free
Only sadness sets me free

Sadness sets me free
Sadness sets me free
Sadness sets me free
Sadness sets me free
