[Verse 1]
Well, I've been lying in this dungeon since I was eighteen
Ten lonely years of my life taken
I've been living in the pages of a magazine
It breaks my heart to awaken

[Chorus]
Set me free, sleep come free me
Set me free, set me free

[Verse 2]
Now the state of Alabama says I killed a man
The jury reached the same conclusion
I remember I was there, hell, with a tire iron in my hand
The rest is all confusion

[Chorus]
Set me free, sleep come free me
Please, please, please
Set me free, set me free

[Verse 3]
More like an animal and less like a man
What they leave you ain't worth keeping
Brother let me tell you, I got a clock with no hands
The only way out is through sleeping
[Chorus]
Set me free, sleep come free me
Please, please, please
Set me free, set me free now

[Verse 4]
You get to where you used to be, whoever you claim
It's open to interpretation
Just remember your number and abandon your name
And hold on to your imagination oh no no

[Chorus]
Set me free, sleep come free me
Please, please, please, please
Set me free, set me free
Set me free
