Free Me

well i look around the old town - where else can i go?
the dark clouds gather round - they know i'm just looking for you
i get the same come-at-me looks, i hear the same old lies
yes, i should've believed them when they said hello agains are worse than goodbyes

i hate this wait between heaven and hell
i gotta pay a trip to one of them - let me know, you might as well
'cause i can run as if i'm flying down streets i always knew
but i'm a jailbird until i've heard your verdict, 'cause only you can

  free me; i'm shouting out your name
  i'm drowning in the rain
  oh, i'm pounding on your door
  ain't waiting any more - free me

well i don't want any plastics, don't want any ground floors
but i'm so confused it's just no use to fight it any more
so when the scurvy little spider offers me a job
i rush to sign the dotted line - i'm on his web and i won't get off

it's a crime how time plays its tricks on me
it's too late to contemplate evading fate, you see
'cause i'm bound to you forever by a curse i cannot fight,
and only you can break it, for wrong or for right

  free me; i'm shouting out your name...

  i never knew the rain could weigh so heavy
  i never knew air get so thin
  sometimes it's good to know nothing
  but right now i need to know everything

well i return to the city - what else can i do?
here ends yet again a pilgrimage to you
and now i'm covered up with voices, more than i can count,
they're telling me how to be: it's too much, it's too loud

i feel unreal - it's all i can do to breathe
i don't understand what anyone's saying and i don't know who to believe
well please don't make me go on like this - i'm heading to lose my mind
you know what my problem is; you could treat me kind, and set me

  free; i'm shouting out your name...
