They get lonely when it's dark
Sad to see the sun die alone
They will sell their tortured soul
Just for one ounce of cheap love
They get lonely when it's dark
With great dusk comes great anxiety
Poorly tucked in their despair
Fantasizing about lost love
And when the shame catches them off-guard
They always ask me
"Oh, what is it like to be free?"
They always ask me
"Oh, what is it like to be free?"
Free from everything
Free from hate
From anger
From myself
Free from fear
From suffering
From myself
Free to put my ego back on the shelf
Free from the cage of my patterns
From myself
They get lonely when it's dark
And when the shame catches them off-guard
They always ask me
"Oh, what is it like to be free?"
