j elijah - "Don't Follow" (new song demo)

I wrote this song tonight, it’s called “Don’t Follow”, and this is the unedited demo. I like it (I don’t like them all, so that’s not weird to say). And of course it’s a free download.

“Don’t Follow” by j elijah

have you let your heart go

have you let your soul go

on to where someone told

you to go

have you let your mind go

have you let it just follow

the words that you were told

they’re not your own, you see

would you just go on

being what you believe

you get stuck in a place

where you can’t leave

the thing around you is your enemy

what are you gonna do about this one?

(even though I see

I see nothing

I see the ground)

have you looked into your, yourself

have you looked into the world

that you were told was real

have you looked inside

to feel

oh, what’s real

inside

I’m feeling everybody else

even the ones

even the infidels

(this is in all of us)

the heretics

(this is in everyone)

the lunatics

(the voice of god)

the fanatic

oh, you are

the thing that you seek

you are the one

that you fear

that you fear

you are the one

that you hold so dear, yes

look at me

look at them

they are so dear

so dear

if you let your heart go

you will let your soul go

if you let your mind go

are you one to just follow

oh, follow

oh, just follow those

look into yourself

and tell me if this is real

yes, just tell me what you feel

tell me what you feel

(the blind death

the sleepiness

would buy what

we will all be dreaming…)
