Now You're Free

 
Is the Dream really over?

Is this this how you're gonna meet The End?

As the Life fades quickly from an opened hand

The Mind fades quickly to an opened vein.

Well, now you're free, now you're free,

Your hands unshackled from those broken chains

And Emptiness remains inside the gaps that once held pain.



And so the Dream fades into shadows,

Shadows too far back in time.

So the Dream is just a memory,

Now plunge yourself into sweet disarray.

Well, now you're free, now you're free,

The screams and laughs all sound the same,

The cluttered streets are bare and plain.



And now there is no Dream, or was it a Nightmare?

Now there is no screams....or laughs....or anything.

It's just a silence, an emptiness inside,

waging war with happiness that still remains within.

But now you're free, now you're free,

Numb to all that strife beneath your skin.

Now you're free, now you're free,

No time left to extract the pin.

Now You're Free.
