I am no bird and no net ensnares me. I am a free human being with an independent will.

Here we are again

Head first heels over

Waiting for the first shot

Here we are again

You used to make me cry

But now I feel nothing

Empty and barren

You tore my life force out

And now we dance

Waiting for the other to speak

Dance in the ashes

Of everything we once had

Say it and its over

But it’s been dead for years

Do it and it’s broken

But none of this can be fixed

Dancing in the ashes

Of you
