Liberty
You can try to fool yourself to thinking you wanted me all along
But the fact is that you only wanted what made you a song
Another figure of rejection and flaunted misunderstandings
Never faithful to the man that would give you his only planet
He always thought if he would be her protection
Every revelation, she’d want to drop her daunting confession
Another song, a mishap shaping to his emotions
He was me, and I am him, but forget deserving devotions
You needed liberty, couldn’t commit to only one man
You wanted all the 'talent' that would show you how to depend
And every dime, every cent of it, you couldn’t control
You broke my heart and lost your mind, and now you’re diggin for gold
And every sect of me, part of me, feeling for your company
Is dead to me, you lied to me,and said you loved me endlessly
I’m sitting her and feeling all the pain of your variety
Calamity, depression and solitude of insanity
No, I never felt that I was out of my mind
I wished in time that you would grow to be undoubtedly mine
I see that I, lookin back, was naive in the head
Thinking nothing of the many drops of tears that I shed
I might have lost all that I had in control
And in my soul I felt the world was coming down on my shoulders
And I was holding, but just barely; being lost in your eyes
But in my mind, because you would never be here right by my side
So... keep your promises, your thoughts, and your co-partner creations
Your felt love, your saved pain, and your own self-degradation
And I’ll be here, looking for what was rightfully mine
In due time, I hope that I can love, and peace... I can find
I hope that someday you can find what you seek
Or learn to love as I have loved and define New Liberty
Cause I’ll be, sitting here, alone... in the dark
Without conversation or the feel of you in my heart
So now I’m standing at the brink of destruction
In my apocalyptic era of corrosive combustion
I’m moving on; not looking back at what I left far behind
Cause my time, is far too precious to be lost in my mind
Just goes to show how in control we can be
And how the strength that we possess is what we call Liberty
But I’ll save my words for somebody else
Maybe somebody that would understand the pain that i felt
Into the years, of our last scrimmage... I'm in this
I’m feeling lost because my mind just cant stop thinking; I'm feeling
I fell behind, And I feel I’m running out of my mind
Like when I said I’m moving on but Life just told me... I’m lying
Like when you lie awake in the night
You try to sleep, but Life keeps flipping through the past; intentionally spites
The things you’ve done, all the things that you just can’t run from
Because the life that you live says something... needs to be done
They say that time heals all wounds, and if thats true
Then tell me... why can I not escape from the truth
And the pain that accompanies the scar that remains
From the world that I held... Well, I guess life... hasn’t changed
