Freedom: Redefined

Hey, remember the time you first picked up that guitar?We’ve become everything you knew we’d becomeAnd moreYou were born to BloomAnd you were born to bring changeUnlike anybody you wereYou were unlike no oneYou brought joyAnd you were the unexpected blondieOcean blueThe naughty and the parsleyThe spark in your eyes was evident and inevitableThen you met the fire You couldn’t fit inThen you were asked to chooseYou never couldEspecially once you had to fight for everythingThere was no going backYou had it hardYou’re looking back nowRemembering every single of those kids with their surnamesGoing on a journey to see, if like you, they fought their battlesFeels like an irreplaceable age gap standing next to themWhen you should have been a friend, you feel like a proud momI know that you knewI know that you hesitated from the start Knowing this is exactly where I’d end upThe gap has gained meaning nowYou don’t know but our unspokens have earned me an auditionI got to relive our conversationWhere we were sitting in the middle of peopleFace to faceConfronting how we lost each otherBecause you were blaming me That you thought I wouldn’t be there for youEven if I always were The stupidity So much blood has been shed and it exactly happened as I knew it wouldThe lady in red had to learn how to dance aloneEven if it would be glamorous wearing your clothes as we together shined brightYou don’t know this but I’m still rooting for you I will always be your frontline fan because you taught me how to feel Made peace with my emotions thanks to youNever started this piece thinking you’d end up being my subject linePerhaps I should lock myself in a studio Burn my voice as an oath to those who were meant to be lost I don’t know if I’d rather have them unfound My story looks just as I had predicted An engraved understanding since we first metI was 8Everything was more clear than it supposed to beLike all of you told me it wouldn’t be Yet it was always in front of my eyes Gleaming at me with the sight I was told impossible to find The lust in me is growing evermore The recklessness wilderness Scenes are playing inside my head Gaining everpoignanceWhat happens when you know the real reason of self-doubtThe insider voices that would like to keep me in the growWhile I force myself to thicken my skin all too strong Bleeding to blister in foresight To pay the advance cost of hindsight My legs were tied so I redefined freedom through my mind
