Freedom calls to me
Nothing is what I want it to be
To shed the restrictions life has placed
Push past it, lay it to waste

Give up on all that's holding me back
Stop fighting against every attack
Set myself free to be carried away
In this circumstance I refuse to stay

What once brought me joy and peace
May now being me that sweet release
I see no reason to continue on
Every decision, every choice, gone

I'm caught in a web of death and despair
It's funny, I can't bring myself to care
Run away scared little girl
Hide away from the world

Dig your feet in and refuse to budge
Let yourself fall victim to those who judge
Hear what is being whispered in your ear
Fall prey to the nagging, persistent fear

Lie awake at night, silent in bed
Unable to clear the screams from your head
Nightmares come to life before your eyes
Dreams gone wrong, silent, torturous cries

The moon sets as the sun begins to rise
With it, the hope of a better tomorrow dies
The stars hidden away in plain sight
Wash away the terror of the night

Distant memories, what do I care?
It's not like I have anyone who there
Chained like a slave to a ball
Whipped for my sins, unable to fall

I stand here with only an ounce of dignity
With what's left of the fight within me
Though, how long I can continue to withstand
The harsh realities that life continues to demand?
