Lyrics

Not My Slave

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind

I thought about the ghost that we left behind

With everyone around telling us what to do

With deafening sound whisper: I love you

The fire in your eyes-- may it never go out

The sweetness of your tears make it feel like night

I see no escape from the roles we always play

What do we have to prove on this judgement day

You're mine now but you're not my sister

You're mine now but you're not my slave

You're mine now but you're not my child

You're mine now but you're not my slave

You're missing my whole point: you're not my little pet

Don't throw away your life, the games not over yet

I do not own your soul, don't want you in a cage

I only want your heart to find a special place

But you're not my slave

You're missing my whole point-- you're not my little pet

Don't throw away your life-- the games not over

You're mine now but you're not my sister (you're mine)

You're mine now but you're not my slave (you're mine)

You're mine but you're not my child (you're mine)

You're mine now but you're not my slave (you're mine)

You're mine now but you're not my slave

With sadness in my heart and clounds in my head

I thought about us both and the lives we led

The pages in a book and pictures on a screen

We make ourselves like clay from someone else's dream

One second you are cast just like stones at my feet

But I am not a king please don't worship me

With everyone around telling us what to do

With deafening sound whisper: I love you

You're missing my whole point-- you're not my little pet

Don't throw away your life-- the games not over yet

I do not own your soul--don't want you in a cage

I only want your heart to find a special place

You're mine

But you're not my slave

You're mine

But you're not my slave

You're mine

You're mine now but you're not my sister (you're mine)

You're mine now but you're not my slave (you're mine)

You're mine now but you're not my child (you're mine)

You're mine now but you're not my slave (you're mine)

You're mine now but you're not my sister (you're mine)

You're mine now but you're not my slave (you're mine)

You're mine but you're not my child (you're mine)

You're mine now but you're not my slave

You're mine you're mine you're mine now

But you're not my slave (you're mine)

You're mine

But you're not my slave

But you're not my slave
