This pen's out of ink from writing off
The loneliest of words can't explain this loss
The vehicle of choice
A familiar scene and voice
To think it's freedom?@$@!%
We are waiting
We are wasting
We are waking
To new life
This sour aura like a morning (mourning) tongue
Kerosene fills my lungs
I'm calling your bluff in stride
And taste smoke from the fire inside
It'll give me freedom! FREEDOM! FREEDOM!
