Untitled 1

They tell you the things that you should be 
Things that they think set you free
Let me tell you the things that I have seen 
Let me tell you some things that should not be
These things they're scars they burn inside
These scars they're things that I must hide
Rules, the things that you abide
Rules, are things they hide behind
You my friend are on the wrong side 
You my friend are trying to hide
You my friend are not alive
Are you my friend till the end
Of insanity
Are you mad at me cause I set you free
Then let me be
I'm sorry to say your on your own 
I'm sorry to say your all alone
Just be yourself and you will see
That they control your destiny
