Toward Liberty

[Verse 1]
Now this has come to life and death
How does a hollow man find his soul?
I try to wrap my mind around the moment it was gone
Everything was an overcast of pain that cost everything
I won't live in the shadow anymore
I can't feed the cycle of intangibles just out of reach
When I see their eyes that means more to me

[Chorus]
Always with me, but couldn't see
Over a lifetime of self will centered on me
It was always pain and yearning for liberty
Why did it take so much pain
To myself and others for me to change

[Verse 2]
Toward liberty

The furthest thing from truth was my face
You only saw a mask I had to hide it
I had to hide me

Somehow in desperation I removed it
The person that I was doesn't define me
I had to find me

Self pity was all I knew
My whole world centered on me
There was no time for me and you
A fucking coward

[Chorus]
Always with me, but couldn't see
Over a lifetime of self will centered on me
But why did it take so much pain
To myself and others for me to change
