Freedom Isn't Free

from See It Through by That Dream Was Our Life

/

lyrics

The bitterness you hold slows your blood like poison
Are you gonna die alone, embracing disappointment

Freedom isn't free but it's pretty pretty sweet

Being gentle with yourself is like trying to fill a chasm
It's easier to lie than trust in your compassion

Freedom isn't free but it's pretty pretty sweet

The distance between you & what you want
Is smaller than the prisons you can build
What's worse than being lonely & in love
The hollow following a dream fulfilled

Suffering holds you up to curated illusions
Most want something else, pale-eyed in their delusion

Recriminations rise but you say them like a thief
When you finally rest you can breathe a sigh of relief
Freedom isn't free but it's pretty pretty pretty pretty sweet
