the reason that you stay in at night is the torture for your ego
the freedom that you fear when you're all alone keeps you so low

the reason that you play down your life, it's a dirty dripping halo
the freedom to lay down your life, it ain't much, and really ain't so

the freedom of running away strips you down into a small lie
but it hurt so long you could make that lie feel so high

make my life a memory of who i thought i'd never become
lead me down another way from worry
and this time
take the road that you so love
and be young
know your love isn't evil
