You can't keep this up. I burned the walls of your pasture, I'm no longer yours to herd. And you're right. I am guiltless, free of that pressure you forced onto my shoulders. That avalanche of boulders you hurled at me have crumbled to dust at my feet. Fueled by you. Your constant slugging, endless dependability, fixation on control that destroyed us, and now are about to destroy you. (If they haven't already.) I am freed. I've found solace in something new. And it's about time you did too.

Let Go
You can't keep this up. I burned the walls of your pasture, I'm no longer yours to herd. And you're right. I am guiltless, free of that pressure you forced onto my shoulders. That avalanche of boulders you hurled at me have crumbled to dust at my feet. Fueled by you. Your constant slugging, endless dependability, fixation on control that destroyed us, and now are about to destroy you. (If they haven't already.) I am freed. I've found solace in something new. And it's about time you did too.
