A Scream for Freedom | poetry.

Track 12: the [r]evolution

"the (r)evolution."

[Jack Wolf]

I pack my things and put them all in my friend's car

Hoping the streets of this city take me that far

Now everybody knows what you did, now they know the truth

You say you did your best, you're such a f*cking liar

I thought you said you would always love me at all

But you don't seem to love, no more

Did I upset you while I screamed and I walked right on your floor?

Freaking out, dancing in the dark

That's how I'm feeling tonight

No one could say a scream for freedom would save my life

Now I know I won't die tonight

Sometimes I notice I'm in a stranger bed

Than the one I used to lay down

But I don't feel no regret, baby, no regret

For the things I had to say out loud

I thought you said you would always love me at all

But you don't seem to love, no more

Did I upset you while I screamed and I walked right on your floor?

Freaking out, dancing in the dark

That's how I'm feeling tonight

No one could say a scream for freedom would save my life

Now I know I won't die tonight

This is the start of my own revolution

I see the light, I swear it's not illusion

I do my liberty walk as I get into an evolution

I'm ready for it, ready to start my life tonight

Now it's all said and done, what should I do?

It's time to build myself without you, so where are you?

When I need to show my powers, where's your anger?

When I want to show I'm the winner, where's the loser?

I won, but I don't feel like I took it all

Happiness starts to leave me as I feel small

There's a brave new world out there

But my mind is the challenge I'm supposed to dare
