Listless in the longing of your embrace
Unknowing to the condition of your space
Speculations about what could have been
Knowing the proverbial church from the real sin
Struggling with all these daily addictions
and my life with all it’s inferior restrictions..

Who I am to be, who I love to know
Who I shall see, and where I shall go.

Choking on my loss for words
Starring at the passing birds
Freedom like that would truly be grand
but I’m just left here where I patiently stand.
Just a few quick words and a final opinion
Since I’m not one to turn the way of the gun.

Who am I to live a lie? Who am I to tell the truth?
Who am I to fear to die? Who am I to reject the lions tooth?
