I wake to find
An aching in the grey
My plans in disarray
My peace of mind
Shattered by the fray
A scene from yesterday
Callow and kind
Innocent and blind
Reason enough to stay
So far behind
Intention lost in time
Now too afraid to stray
*Set me free - set me free
Set me free - set me free
been such a long time coming
I forgot that I've been running
Set me free - set me free
Set me free - set me free
I've no desire to stay
so i'm stepping out to find a better way*
So sick and tired
Of all that is mundane
Numbing out my brain
Unable to explain
Confined to single lane
Borderline insane
I’ll shed my skin
stop sinking in the shame
of my alleged sin
so stretched and thin
can’t wait to leave
but where do I begin?
*Set me free - set me free
Set me free - set me free
been such a long time coming
I forgot that I've been running
Set me free - set me free
Set me free - set me free
I've no desire to stay
so i'm stepping out to find a better way*
A twinge of excitement, unfamiliar and queer
begins to escalate, and weaken my knees
I feel it spread beneath my bodies veneer
taking control like a delightful disease
Pretty soon I’m overcome by the feeling
of an electrifying sense of unease
with every sense within writhing and reeling
I get up and start to reach for my keys
My luck is changing, and its hard to explain
the little trickle is becoming a flood
I start to let go of the heartache and pain
The very thought begins to quicken my blood
No longer brittle, strong enough to spurn - my
loathsome memories evaporate fast
So with a smile upon my face I turn
and raise my finger in salute to the past
*Set me free - set me free
Set me free - set me free
been such a long time coming
I forgot that I've been running
Set me free - set me free
Set me free - set me free
I've no desire to stay
so i'm stepping out to find a better way*
