Just want to be free
Shackled to the earth a slave to each breathSustained life with the oxygen in each oneWeighted down with the burden of existingThe stress weighing close to a tonLooking upward to the heavensThough we shouldn't, we still ask whyAre we to remain bound to the earthWhen all we really want is to flyTo break free from this notion of freedomWe're all still trapped and locked up by a chainIts no longer physical but rather materialTo not think so, to me, thats insaneHome of the brave land of the freeAfraid to stand up for whats rightTaking orders to barely have a checkWhy? Dark clouds hover, I just need some lightAlong with that stress there's moreEmotionally I'm basically in a cageIf my love life was a bookI'd have paper cuts from turning each pageStranded with all that I feelAs if on an uncharted island in the seaStarved from the lack of happiness Dehydrated, no love, no rescue, just meImprisoned by my own thoughtsDoubts, self worth, in mirrors I barely like what I seeSeems like my sentence will last foreverCouldn't pay my way out as there is no feeLooking towards the stars wanting just a wishTo wipe the slate clean is my pleaTo let go all things that weigh me downMy wish? I just want to be free
