You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay I should speak what’s on my mind And yet you censor what I say Conformists following their set way Unabashedly blind You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay Thoughts leaping through my head like a ballet In an elaborate design And yet you censor what I say Follow the script “Hello” “Good day” Nothing new and all will be fine You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay My words are clay Moldable, unconfined And yet you censor what I say This world goes by in shades of gray My rainbow is maligned You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay A̶n̶d̶ ̶y̶e̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶e̶n̶s̶o̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶a̶y̶

Censorship
You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay I should speak what’s on my mind And yet you censor what I say Conformists following their set way Unabashedly blind You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay Thoughts leaping through my head like a ballet In an elaborate design And yet you censor what I say Follow the script “Hello” “Good day” Nothing new and all will be fine You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay My words are clay Moldable, unconfined And yet you censor what I say This world goes by in shades of gray My rainbow is maligned You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay A̶n̶d̶ ̶y̶e̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶e̶n̶s̶o̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶a̶y̶
