Do you seriously believe |
|
That you will not be a prisoner? |
|
Do you insistently try |
|
Over and over to seem free in life |
|
in the ways you treat your loves and the lives and your troubles and fights and me? |
|
Well let me say |
|
Yeah, go ahead and try |
|
But I say you will be captive along with me |
|
We're stuck in the muck of our hearts |
|
And the fear that we'll find that these feelings of ours start to seem like bars |
|
So we squirm |
|
and sink deeper |
|
Yes we wriggle into jail cells |
|
But I say let feelings hold you |
|
I say embrace your captors |
|
I say get to know them deep |
|
Have no news you won't hear |
|
Have no truths you won't tear |
|
No hope that'll you'll ever have freedom |
|
From your tyrant heart |
