Free to Peace

Lyrics
Holidays were long and dreadful I gained my pride and I came fully able

To grab a pen and write these lyrics down

I don’t think that you are mindless But you’re the only one that killed my kindness

I’ve had my time to write down the things that you’ve done

And I’ve counted excuses, I’ve sure found a plenty

And who knows? I might see you in a year or twenty

And I hope that by then these wounds are still not mending

So you understand

That these tears in this fabric means that I’m no fool

How someone so like-minded can be kind and cruel

But these bars in my mind keep me locked and begging

‘Why can’t I be free to peace like you?’

As these months drew in colder All it did was make me feel alone and older

And regretful for all the things I’ve done

Do I want you to see me? In my lowest point, my valley full of fearing

I don’t wanna say that you have won

I’ve counted excuses, I’ve sure found a plenty

And who knows? I might see you in a year or twenty

And I hope that by then these wounds are still not mending

So you understand

That these tears in this fabric means that I’m no fool

How someone so like-minded can be kind and cruel

But these bars in my mind still keep me locked and begging

‘Why can’t I be free to peace like you?’

When my shadow’s the person that I wanna become

Then there’s something in me that’s purely wrong

I hope you’re okay, don’t know what to say

To this improvement you’ve become Become, ooh BECOME

I’ve counted excuses, I’ve sure found a plenty

And who knows? I might see you in a year or twenty

And I hope that by then these wounds are still not mending

So you understand And right there and right then I might be

bleeding out I’m smiling I’m crying but I have no doubt

That the truth and the pain comes tumbling out my mouth

“There’s no such thing as ‘free to peace like you’.”
