[Emancipated]
You kept beating your
drums in my mind,
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each timeExecuting the peace inside
of my quiet head,
With your loud bursts of
sudden stressToday I'm going to bang
my way out of this cageThat you trapped me in
when we were young in
loveFor a new life is awaiting
me,
With sandy beaches
Palm trees
and tropical rhythmsSo today I'm going to seek my
freedomFor the sky it shades my body,
When it tries to stretch its hands
to my rescue,But you keep holding me down
And you're gone like the wind
And you're gone like the dinosaurs
And you're gone like our loveInto your new life
Leaving me heartlessWhen you stole my heart and
placed it inside the treasure chest
behind your bones,
With your stolen hearts and even
soulsAnd now I pay for each one of
your sins,
For I didn't know that you'd
chain my mind,
For I didn't know that you'd
continuously lieSo now I'm hurt and heartless
Paying for the sins that you left
and the crimes that you arrested
me for,When you stole my heart and
placed it into a jar,With your other stolen trophies
For you're the collector of heartsSo it's my fault, for I never saw
this coming,
For I was blind to your lies
For I was blind to your sinsAnd so today I open my eyes
after all this hurting
And also the cage that you
sentenced me to die inFor now I'm a prisoner that
knows the truth,
And so I'm emancipating
myself tooAnd like the waters at a beach
today I'll sway relentlesslyLike a lion who found his powers
and unlocked his mysteriesFor you've stolen my heart,
But it regenerated overtime,And so I say bye, bye, to my
depression.
