Requiem

Requiem - BoySetsFire

She cries its freedom that we need

But I have yet to see a

Cause to believe

I need to feel it please

Just let me feel all right

It comes in waves of need

Ten ways to make you bleed

Before you get to die

Can we give it one more shot

Have we thrown all hope away

Does it have to be this

Painful just to make it through

This is not our requiem

We're wasting time as victims

Why spend our lives on

Bended knee choosing not to be free

He sighs

I'm quickly burning out

All that's left of me are jaded memories

I need to feel it please

Just let me feel all right

Of what I could have been

If I had only been less

Of what they wanted

Can we give it one more

Shot have we thrown all hope away

Does it have to be this

Painful just to make it through

This is not our requiem

We're wasting time as victims

Why spend our lives on

Bended knee choosing not to be free

We're still here all

Together and all alone

Consumed with fear that

One day we'll discover

How empty we've become

Restricted and ashamed

We crave what they provide us

So we'll never feel alone

Can we give it one more shot

Have we thrown all hope away

Does it have to be this painful

Just to make it through

This is not our requiem we're

Wasting time as victims

Why spend our lives on

Bended knee choosing not to be free

I am now just learning to breathe
