Violent and Free

When I was a boy, I heard music in my head

It danced like me, violent and free,

Oh it danced like me.

 

Now my ears ring and my mind finds no peace

Just an empty space for thoughts to race,

And hold me hostage if they please.

 

Now the only place I dance is on a tightrope of fears

Like flame in the breeze, violent and free

I dance to be free

Violently
