Trying To Be Free
You try to save me
You try to help me
But your "help" is not wanted
I do not wish to be "saved" by you.
To save me you cage me
To help me you take things away.
I try to fly
And you make me fall
I try to run
And you chain me up
I try to "set myself free"
You lock me up.
You say I don't know what I'm doing.
But I know exactly what I want to do.
Locked away in this misery
I think of how to be free.
You say I don't understand
That I don't want to do this
Oh but I do.
A nice pleasant thought
To ease my mind
You the one that doesn't understand
To live in this never ending circle
That just keeps spinning in sorrow
Drowned in misery
And stamped with sadness
Full of depression
Till it makes you want to die.
You say how selfish I would be
If I were to set myself free
But.
Is that such a selfish wish?
A wish to be erased
From this endless misery
Let me cut deep
Let me cut quick
Let me bleed away
And feel the pain
Let me be ripped apart
Let me claw myself
Let me slip away
And set myself free
Let me slash
Let me stab
Let me pierce the heart
And die alone
For everything you do
You make things worse
So just let me save myself
Let me help me
Let me set myself free.
