Live Like Captives - Truth May Burn Lyrics

Now letting go of this toxic notion
It's like the future's been lifted from my shoulders
I was afraid to live like walls were moving in
I see now waiting around that I've only gotten older
I need nobody nor will I ever
I owe my heart to the art of expression
So f*ck your inability to understand me
The need to be wanted only serves as an oppression.
Forget who you are now, who can you become without disintegrating?
Accept the terms as much as the truth may burn
Expect no more than what you earn
At least that's how I learned, as far as I'm concerned
I'm better off without a choice
And long live the day I finally came to
I've had time away and I no longer blame you
You live and learn as much as the truth may burn
Sometimes there's only one way to turn
And I hope you're well today
Have you made the best of your days?
I know I'm still distant but I wrote this here in hopes that you'll listen
