Free

I'm free
Free as a bird
And with the lessons I've learned
I'll be able to sore through the sky
I'm free
And everything they say
It's all destined to stay
But the answer is as clear as the day
That I flew away

The gates close
And I'm off for adventure
You can see that
In the postcard I sent ya
Skies blue
Trees green
So calm I could melt
And I'm the happiest that I've ever felt
Everything seems so bright
And not in shades of grey
It hasn't been like this
Since I came here that day
Though there were people
Who I thought could make me smile
Those feelings
Would only last for a while

I had doubts in my mind
When the mask came off
But I knew if I was kind
I would see some results
I was wrong
It was all just lies
And I was put a place
Where no one could hear my cries
I never thought
That I'd make it out of there alive
Everyday I spent trapped
Was just to run and hide
But I toughed it out
So you could see
The difference in my expression
'Cause now

I'm free
I'm free as a bird
And with the lessons I've learned
I'll be able to sore through the sky
I'm free
From the shackles
That now look tattered and worn
And like a phoenix
I rise from the ashes
It's like I've been reborn

The greatest feeling is knowing I can start a new
And that life will be better without the few
But the are many that I'll end up leaving behind
And it kills me to do so
'Cause they were so kind
What is this
Is it Stockholm Syndrome
The place was a mess
But some people were different
I'm happy to leave
But just tell me why
I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye

Why should I leave them here
Shrouded by pain and fear
Not just them
But the rest as well
No one deserves to be trapped in the hell
Let me stay
I'll do whatever I'm yours
Whatever pain I took
I'll stomach it for five years more
Please don't make
Without them it's strange
I'm open to options
I'm willing to change

I'm free
I'm free as a bird
And with the lessons I've learned
I'll be able to sore through the sky
I'm free
I wish I could stay
And not fly away
