Liberation
Dig for their hands full of scars and bruises
A happy noose born from your sickly abuses
You can try to reach out but you have to reach down
Because now you’ll find your prey six feet under the town
Hunted, found, then you pounce
Endlessly, endlessly
Are my flaws so important to you?
A lonely creature in the shadows of the zoo
Caged and afraid in a prison of acceptance
Will I ever taste liberation?
Search for a cure only love and death defies
A sick pleasure produced by empty lies
You can try to reach out but you have to reach down
Because now you’ll find your prey six feet under the town
Hunted, found, then you pounce
Endlessly, endlessly
Are my flaws so important to you?
A lonely creature in the shadows of the zoo
Caged and afraid in a prison of acceptance
Will I ever taste liberation?
