Pulled from these sides by me and them
The tides go high and low and then
Sometimes I just want to be free
Not think about your society
If I can't breathe I'd rather not try
Fall in with your suicide
Though there you are with all your rules
Your ideas of what I should do
Though when I care I only pretend
For you may never see my bends
Ask yourself what makes you right
It shouldn't take you all night
Justify your little flaws
Go break your own laws
I swear I try real hard to follow
Not bring you any more sorrow
What's inside has turned to frost
For as long as I have been lost
