Stacked upon many souls
Rests the will to awaken

I’ve been down so many roads in my life
Seeking freedom yet finding only strife

Trying many ways of gaining my freedom
I just seem to grow and feed them

My pain does not dwindle when I look
I find no earthly means, but sense stuck

I trust no one with my life
Not even myself, I’d just as soon die

I blame others for my problems
Yet I know they don’t cause them

So I stay in this world lonely
Looking for a way to freedom
