Explorer Lyrics

Met a man, locked away for things he hadn't done
Innocence on a ball and chain, he'll never feel the sun
Again on his face or roses in his hands
But when he smiled at me, I could understand
If you're free you'll never see the walls
If you're head is clear, you'll never freefall
If you're right, you never fear the wrong
If you're head is high, you never fear at all

There was a daughter of a man who took his life too young
She swore she'd never do the same, then did just what he'd done
And a boy who's gone insane heard voices in his head
No one knows what they say now his mothers dead
If you're free, you'll never see the walls
If you're head is clear, you'll never freefall
If you're right, you never fear the wrong
If you're head is high, you never fear at all

Cuttin' me down, cuttin' me down
Cuttin' me down, cuttin' me down
Cuttin' me down, cuttin' me down
Cuttin' me down, cuttin' me down
There was a man who had a face, it looked a lot like me
I saw him in the mirror and I fought him in the street
And when he turned away, I shot him in the head
And I came to realize I had killed myself
If you're free, you'll never see the walls
If you re head is clear, you'll never freefall
If you're right, you never fear the wrong
If you're head is high, you never fear
Cuttin' me down and cuttin' me down
Cuttin' me down, cuttin' me down
Cuttin' me down, cuttin' me down
Cuttin' me down, cuttin' me down
