When We Were Free

When I'm a child again I'll cut my body open wide So when I get older I will know That I got everything that I could get from this old life I'm not looking backwards anymore When I hear sirens I'll call everybody close to me So when I get notified they'll see That I said everything that I could say when we were free And there's nothing hanging from my teeth This colored condemnation Makes for useless conversation It's such an empty affirmation “I want it now” When I'm a shadow I'll float under you and fill your room So when the lights come on we'll know That I did everything that I could do to stay with you I've always had a hard time letting go
