Behind Open Bars

Always dazed by every damsel With eyes that are so hungry and restless With legs chasing after anything but men A desire that paints one pair as punishment Such is the life of a man drowned in lust Who knows what lies beyond this common cage? What if there really is no place like home? What of the warmth and hunger-stops so close? What if nightfall traps me beyond this jail? What of the thousand tongues that will say stop? Cute cages of many provide the cuffs Oh the nostalgia! How could one stand such? None can create all the hard sweat and loss Scary downpour compared with leaking top? To stay or not to stay, I now know not Flowers do turn frail without water's strength Such is a lady far from her creator Trampled upon and treated like a piece of bread Why should a rose be trapped in strong odour? When a price is not placed, any price is called So get up and run towards freedom's gate The sun is so loud just beyond the rain Many won't agree cos a few ever try Run to Him who gives strength and never lies Take your seat and you will never be lost Co-written by Efeose Ukhun
