As a prisoner of my ambition I've been thinking about what it means to be free I've been haunted by the bad decisions of a much younger version of me I've just gotta get out, I've been wondering how I can change the way my name gets spread all around Cause it's so hard to survive with all this attention All things I couldn't keep right, I'm sick of this city Cause it's so hard to find love when half of the heart's a bit polluted by addiction Oh God, there's so much opposition It's hard to know where I stand so don't ask my opinion All things I can't comprehend Now I'm thinking about a place where I'd like to go But it's gone because I woke from a dream And I'm wondering how long I've gotta be alone before the slumber takes a hold of me As the darkness of the night hides the shadows I'm awake and I'm afraid to face our reality And these memories of all the friends I've left behind are the only ones I'm able to see I've been disillusioned, it's hard to change how I feel But I'd be in denial and I gotta have something real There's so much corruption that I don't want to sort out I'm strong aware to sue my ignorance I'm thinking about all the ways to move forward instead of living a lie Because there has to be a better way for us to get by But it's such a challenge to get someone to see That the world is so much greater than they're led to believe I'm thinking about all the ways to move forward instead of living a lie Because there has to be a better way for us to get by But it's such a challenge to get someone to see That the world is so much greater than they're led to believe I'm thinking about all the ways to move forward instead of living a lie Because there has to be a better way for us to get by *
