I'm Not as Free as I Thought I'd Be

I'm not as free as I thought I'd be I thought I broke free I'm not as free as I thought I'd be I was sure my mind was open Certainty only grounded in guilded notions I'm not as free as I thought I'd be Illusions dance on the film of my memory They call to me and resound liberty Memories, when well thought of only echo regret and cowardness I'm not as free as I thought I'd be Consumed and driven by fear No laughter or chaos near No lights or playful sights I'm not as free as I thought I'd be For my life is played out safely behind Glass
