Follow Your Soul

You feel your heart wrenching with pain
That burning, neverending strain
Grabbing your destiny with all it's might
You know right from the beginning you've lost the fight
Flowing through your veins is rage
You see it putting your own life in a cage
You wish you would just drop dead
You collapse to your knees, holding your head
Falling never felt so hard
Killing off your last breath with a single shard
You believe there is no way out
But you see a single ray of hope and you shout
"Help me oh precious one!"
But they stray away from your undying cage
You watch as they desinergrate
Tears streaming and heart pounding
You can't believe what is happening
You just want to fly 
Fly away like a free bird
Touching the sky with your rough fingers
Coasting the blue, open waters
Because Freedom Speaks When Your Mouth Shall't Not
