Killing My Words

I'm trapped in this cage while others hold me down

Direct my pen as their fist comes down

They meddle and interfere in my affair

With the written word and God how could you dare,

But you did so.

Killing my words

I misunderstood the word free

Killing my words

Does it even apply to me?

If the mixing of my words makes you scared

They're just that, words, you could not bear

If it's that horrible, hide it and now one will know

It is the coward's way that lets this terror go

And it goes on.

Killing my words

I misunderstood the word free

Killing my words

Does it even apply to me?

And I am one

As they are many

And they cut me down

As I bleed

From my mind

You will hear no sound

I refuse

And they insist

And we battle on

In the end

Who will stand

I believe I will carry on

When I put my pen to the sheet

I describe the things that you cannot see

You have audacity that is beyond compare

Are you restricting my thoughts

And this I cannot bear

And it ends now!

Killing my words

I misunderstood the word free

Killing my words

Does it even apply to me?
