You said you loved your freedom,
The iron in your chains,
Rearranged the furniture
To mimic the movement of change.

You said you held your secrets
Like a cigarette in the rain,
Close beneath the shelter
To keep alive the flame.

I know the room is empty
As you pace on through the night,
Empty bottles and bloodstains
From where you threw the fight.

I know the sky is vacant,
I know the glass is full,
I know the nights are so long
When there is no one there at all.

But you will make it through my friend.
You will greet the morning of your life.
You will sober up, you will calm down,
And everything will turn out right.

You will roll away the stone my friend.
You will wander and you will roam.
All these obstacles stood in your way
Will one day lead you home.
