Free
There is a beautiful world
Couped up in my head.
I'd love to share it with you,
but I keep it bottled up instead.
There are so many things
I'd like to do and to say,
but like every other time
I say "some other day."
I need to live in the moment,
live in the here and now.
The only problem I foresee,
is that I simply don't know how.
I can never pull that trigger,
I never do what's good for me.
I always play it safe and say,
"I better just let it be."
I believe my time will come.
I will get the chance to go.
Away from here away from you,
my long time enemy and foe.
I can't let you hold me back,
it is time to set myself free.
You think you have the power,
you're wrong just wait and see.
For so long I have battled
Between what is good and bad.
You've always made me think
the only emotion I feel is sad.
Well tonight things are different,
I'm ready to set myself free.
My demons can have a seat
I am ready to show the world me.
