Let Me Go

She looks at her life

and wonders why it is she runs

why run from the pain

from the downward spiral its become

she loves to stay awake

just to stare out at the sun

she has no purpose or direction

no reason for her life

cant find a reason for her fighting

for her quarrels

for her strife

just knows that she wants to live

not to live by their rules, just to live

she just wants to be;

to exist to sing  

to dance to breathe

shes so sick of all this shit

she cant have a life

cuz her parents dont feel like it

she cant go out with friends

no one tells her why

and they complain because her sister

seems so fucking shy

its a complete double standard

the way they believe she should be brought up

maybe they should think a little

give their daughters point a bit of thought

no one wants to be cross examined

by a set of different laws

no one deservs to be ripped apart

so someone can try out there new claws

parents shouldnt have the power

to make our life a living hell

they think were just so terrible

so they keep us in a shell

if we dont live in the real world

well never be more

than their little boys and girls

by the way this is what our parents know

"If we keep them locked up, we never have to let them go"

see the world lives a different way

they protect us all from "evil"

but this is what we have to say

"wed rather be free to live our own lives

than have you tell us everything we should do

wed rather have a broken heart a hundred times

than live by all your rules"
