Time and Circumstances
I used to believe that all I needed was absolute freedom,
But now I know that no such thing exists
But in the bounds of this reality…
And these times and circumstances are never our ideals,
So we throw ourselves against the walls we cannot break
Until we learn we cannot win - within the chains of our lives
There’s only one freedom to be had:
The freedom to be glad in this madness.
Believe me, I’ve had my share of tears
And they’ve taught me far too much.
They call me the girl who doesn’t feel,
And I’m sorry I turned out so cold.
But I really meant it when I said that I missed you,
And I really meant it when I said that I loved you still,
And I do, I do…
And these times and circumstances are never our ideals,
So we throw ourselves against the walls we cannot break
Until we learn we cannot win - within the chains of our lives
There’s only one freedom to be had:
The freedom to be glad in this madness.
So I might as well sing a song inside this cell
Just to astound them as my dignity is falling,
And I might as well smile within this hell
Just to confuse them when they think my heart is drowning…
And these times and circumstances are never our ideals,
So we throw ourselves against the walls we cannot break
Until we learn we cannot win - within the chains of our lives
There’s only one freedom to be had:
The freedom to be glad in this madness.
