Oh How I Long to be Free Again
My heart is yearning
While your moon’s burning
And your boiling rain is scalding me
My fires are raging
The heat is blazing
But your ice-cold heart is chilling me
And though my heart cries out for thee
Your stormy weather’s killing me
And now my heart cries out for me…
Oh how I long to be free again
Oh how I long to be me again
You say I’m dying
But you’ve been lying
Your cure is one that will never heal
You coerce with spectres
And you call me a vector
But your kiss of death’s no good for me
And my whole body feels so unwell
Your wicked brew is killing me
My gut’s in knots and my heart does swell
Oh how I long to be free again
Oh how I long to be me again
And I’m going home
Even if I’m all alone
Yes I’m coming home
So I can learn to be free again
So I can start to be me again
My heart was burning
But I’d been learning
T’was a lie that you cared for me
You said you loved me
But your put-downs crushed me
For you’re a coward who manipulates
You stole my mind to make me weak
With weasel words that were killing me
But when I saw that you’d turned on me…
Now I am strong and I am free again
Now I am strong and I am me again
