The antipeace of conformity

Let me go
let me go
let me GO

lost in a world where I have no control

Sick kid, coughing all night
whisper comforts, hold him tight

powerless, in a position of surrender
once a thousand paths, now a hopeless dead-ender

Let me run
let me run
let me RUN

lost in a cage where there's no escape

I start to leave, then I feel their need
my heart is empty, theirs have yet to bleed

So i spin in place, grind my gears
Forfeit my desires and forget that thing-fear

Let me die
let me die
let me DIE

found in a place with only one door

I let my wounds pour, til unwillingly they clot
Nail myself to this place, hope for death as i rot

Left foot, right foot, taking steps to conform
the calm is about me, in this eye of the storm
