I slipped under her skin to live a short life before living
I wanted to give myself one last try
One last attempt to understand
A last chance before deciding
If I was wrong or right to leave you all to your own devices
Our ideas are spoken dishonestly
Our words are thought truthfully
sympathy is ignored
empathy is rejected
I cut the connection shared through thought and spirit
Because you claimed yourselves being held captive
I severed the bonds that in truth united us
Because you accused them of being chains about your neck
I played along and set you free
Free to do or say as you please
But in freedom you gave way to hypocrisy
And lovelessly enslaved your humanity
Freedom to imprison themselves ironically once more

If I was wrong or right to leave you all to your own devices
Our ideas are spoken dishonestly

I cut the connection shared through thought and spirit
Because you claimed yourselves being held captive
I severed the bonds that in truth united us
Because you accused them of being chains about your neck
I played along and set you free
Free to do or say as you please
But in freedom you gave way to hypocrisy
And lovelessly enslaved your humanity
Freedom to imprison themselves ironically once more
