Free To Be

I saw a sign sprayed on the wall

Said free to be, free to be

It hit me like the start of a morning

These quiet chains around my limbs

Holding the good girl that's there within

Who smiles at the sound of a warning

What if the lights don't work?

What if I just prefer sitting in the dark?

What if the truth might hurt?

What if I just pretend and cover my heart

Is that being free?

Is that being free to be?

Is that being free?

Is that being free to be?

I saw a life ahead of me

Where I was swallowed by the productivity

But cowered at the flesh of my body

They say that love is friends with pain

But if I shut them off what the hell do I gain?

Maybe feeling both is part of the story

What if the lights don't work?

What if I just prefer sitting in the dark?

What if the truth might hurt?

What if I just pretend and cover my heart?

I hope the colour of a morning

Will paint my sadness better

I don't cry or try to pry or make the time to find the pleasure

I don't wanna dig the dirt

I don't wanna feel the hurt

But is that being free?

Is that being free?

What if the lights don't work?

What if I just prefer sitting in the dark?

What if the truth might hurt?

What if I just pretend and cover my heart

Is that being free?

Is that being free to be?

Is that being free?

Is that being free to be?

Free to be, free to be
