There’s a rubber band around me It stretches from head to toe I jump to extend my boundaries With no avail I bounce back It’s those invisible screens Reflecting ideals and promises Where is the freedom we dreamed? When there’s nothing beyond We’re our own poison With a society so tightened Can we try to express something? Or are we doomed to silence It’s harrowing beyond measure The world that we’ve created Carved up and delivered with, Margins of error and doubt.

When there’s nothing beyond We’re our own poison With a society so tightened Can we try to express something? Or are we doomed to silence It’s harrowing beyond measure The world that we’ve created Carved up and delivered with, Margins of error and doubt.
