Where is My Freedom?
I ran away
from that place
from that world that causes so much pain
I've found the escape
But I don't know if it's exactly safe
Because safety doesn't exist
To be free
How I long to be free
My feet bleed as I run
Eyes burned by the sun
the water is filled with poison
Why did I excape
I am no longer safe
But wait, safety doesn't exist
To be free
How I long to be free
She is no longer running
No more internal drumming
That inner bird is no longer humming
It found the escape
I couldn't keep her safe
Oh right, safety doesn't exist
To be free
How I long to be free
I crawl in pain
Back to that place
Back to that place engulfed by flames
I can't escape; I will never escape
I will never be safe
Because safety never existed
To be free
How I long to be free
