Free Your Mind

Hide behind a screen of destruction
deny the outside world
fall behind the walls of illusion
once a time of tales told
for you
for me
now all of us are too blind to see
that we live on the brink of insanity
that there is no such thing as eternity
that dead and gone are your civil liberties
for you
for me
hear me as i carry on
just because it's different
doesn't mean that it is wrong
dream me into a cleansing shiver
to take my scars away
drown me in your mortal river
my soul to forever stay
for you 
for me
