We Squirm

Do you seriously believe
That you will not be a prisoner?
Do you insistently try over and over
To seem free in your life
In the ways that you treat
Your loves and delights
And your troubles and fights, and me?

Well, let me say
Yeah, go ahead and try
But I say you will be captive along with me
We're stuck in the muck of our hearts
In fear that we'll find
That these feelings of ours
Start to seem like bars
So we squirm and sink deeper
Yes, we wriggle into jail cells

But I say, "Let feelings hold you"
I say, "Embrace your captors"
I say, "Get to know them deep"
Have no news you won't hear
Have no truths you won't tear
No hope that you'll ever find freedom
From your tyrant heart
