Finally Free

Asphyxiated, 
try not to choke
The bridges I've burnt 
are bellowing smoke
Cutting all ties 
with a blunt, brittle knife
I don't need a map 
for the circle of life

It's what you don't say 
and what you don't do
That's made me detest 
and despise every you
The hands and the eyes that
you own are like ice
It's come back around now 
you're paying the price
