lyrics

I’ve always been adventurous
Always comfortably uncomfortable
Make men in uniform feel like boys in costume
But I don’t want this power anymore
No, I don’t want this power anymore

It’s exhausting being your own god
And I’m no pet name for the Universe
In fact, it’s been a while since I believed that I was in control
And now you’ll hear me crying

Set me free, release your power o’er me
Set me free, release your power o’er me
Set me free
Set me free

I’ll dance with all the old ghosts
So I won’t drown in liquid shame
Now here I stand before the shadow of the northex
And it says, “Suffer but don’t act when you’re insane,”
Suffer but don’t act when you’re insane

Will, set me free
Release this power over me
Will, set me free
Release this power over me
Will, set me free
Release this power over me
Will, set me free

When I’m low, it’s all absurd
And when I’m high, I’m born again
But now I’m taking the Flower Fish’s advice
To cocoon myself in life

Set me free, release your power o’er me
Set me free, release your power o’er me
Set me free
Set me free

Will, set me free
Release this power over me
Will, set me free
Release this power over me

(Will, set me free, release this power over me) Will, set me free; Will, set me free
(Will, set me free, release this power over me)
Ah, set me free
(Will, set me free, release this power over me)
This power you have over me
You have, you have
(Will, set me free, release this power over me)
Release this power, this power over me
(Will, set me free, release this power over me)
This power, this power over me
(Will, set me free, release this power over me)
This power you have over me

about

Kate Koenig Brooklyn, New York

Kate Koenig is a very hungry experimental folk caterpillar that eats Fleet Foxes’ progressivism and Kate Bush's iconoclasticism and Jeff Buckley’s zeal and Nick Drake’s disenchantment, and is still eating while you read this bio. They are also a fierce advocate for mental health awareness, which comes out in the deeply personal, introspective theater of their music. ... more
