Viral Sin - Break Free
She's been waiting for this moment, anticipation showin'
Thick is the blood that's flowin', nothin' else is important
She don't know where she's goin', can't blame her not for knowin'
She wants to be someone in this life, makin' her own choices
She follows her own voices, she wants freedom exact
Break the binds that hold you, fledgling eagle and that's the first act
In a play of many scenes, many people will pass
Many will try to hold you down, but you're too good for that
You found your Romeo, but you found you're not Juliet
You may have fooled yourself but you still haven't fooled me yet
You deserve something more, something you have yet to experience
Take a moment, listen inside, you should be hearin' it
Break free... break free...
What'chu got to worry 'bout? Isn't this what you've always wanted?
No time for two-steppin' now, it's time to pull some punches
This is what you've always pondered, this is what you've dreamed about
This is the only thing that you've been able to think about
First train to anywhere, your own spiritual journey
Riding a train for once, not being steered on a gurney
Your father would get mad, but you know he's always wrong
Your mother would be sad, can't she see that you're strong?
It's gone on for too long, hope your feet don't fail you now
This is the road to redemption, You're gonna show 'em now
No time to fall apart, it's time to gather the pieces
They've sowed their oats, and now it's the time for the reaping
And I hope they see it now, see what they've grown under chains
'cause in the end they'll accuse you for all their worldly blames
But you know better. And what they haven't seen
Is what you haven't been hiding, but what you've shown to me
What I see is nothing less than a strong human being
Young as you may be, you desire more than you can see
Instead of living sheltered you want to be all you can be
If blood is thicker than water, why fight with your fam'ly?
I've seen them fall apart and tear at the seams and
wonder why they've been brought up to be so damn weak
And when I look at you, I see the heart of a lion
A will of tempered steel behind beautiful eyes and
I know that somehow, you'll pull through this phase
Through this haze, to take that step through that gate
And with time you'll come to know what it takes to find yourself
And make yourself even better than you've ever felt
And when that day comes we'll finally be on the same page
And a little wiser to world and its ways
And as they say, the rest just leads up to fate
By then, you'll know the diff'rence between truth and cliché
Break free... break free...
Break free from the ties that bind you
Break free from the sights that blind you
Break free from your doubt and sorrow
Break free from thought that's borrowed
As hard as it gets, You must push through to get by
Grinding your gears just to make due with your time
Pull to make ends, just to make good with your life
And when the end comes, you'll know that your life wasn't a waste
Take it at face value, don't let the little things stress you
Not everything in the world is put here just to test you
Count your blessings, appreciate all that you've got
And all that you'll get, regret not all that you've spent
The money and emotions, the tears that could fill the oceans
The words that were spoken, whether or not they're important
And the push and the pull coupled with the give and the take
The persuit of relationships with the true and the fake
Our day will come, one day we'll meet in the garden
and exchange life stories about when times were their hardest
We'll take a look back at when our friendship first started
And write the rest of our stories together til we're dearly departed.

Comments and criticism welcome. And as always, I know where my flow trips up.
