The Day I Set Them Free
Its in his brain
A clot that travelled through his veins and settled in
And what a simple stroke of genius he thought
To kill the part of him thats good
And feed his ego the remains
Dressed up at all the masquerades he throws himself
He wears the youth he stole from us,
But hes just another crooked suit beneath tattoos
And though theres people at the wake theres no mourning to see
The sounds of empty halls seem sweeter to me
But I wake every morning to find
His legacy still haunting all of the songs Id like to sing
So heres to the day I set them free.
But we cant escape!
We clawed and picked apart the chains we forged ourselves
Cause hes a sad, pathetic, washed up, old, delusional, perverted, stubborn fool
Ohh! Let me set them free!
Ohh! I just needed the freedom to stand and watch as my words cave in
To bury me for
All my sins
All the roads I let you lead us down
Youre mistaken
We dont owe you a single thing
Cause you took the best of all our years
and Im sorry this wont bring yours back
Youre mistaken.
We dont owe you a single thing
Cause weve got nothing left.
So heres to the day I set them free
And watch as my words cave in
To bury me in this
