False Freedom
Verse 1:
They say I'm free, that I own my fate,
But these chains are hidden, and they suffocate,
Every choice I make, every path I take,
Is a thread in a web, tangled and fake.
Pre-Chorus:
They tell me I'm living, I'm making my way,
But the price of this freedom's too high to pay,
In the shadows where the promises fade,
I'm a prisoner in the choices I've made.
Chorus:
False freedom, a dream that's sold,
In the night's cruel game, I'm losing control,
They say I'm free, but I'm bound by the cost,
In a world where the truth is forever lost.
Verse 2:
Every night's a battle, every deal's a cage,
In the name of freedom, I'm lost on this stage,
The power to choose, just a bitter disguise,
In a world where the freedom's a web of lies.
Pre-Chorus:
They say I'm in charge, that I have the right,
But I'm dancing on strings, in the dead of night,
Behind every smile, there's a hidden command,
In this masquerade, I can't understand.
Chorus:
False freedom, a dream that's sold,
In the night's cruel game, I'm losing control,
They say I'm free, but I'm bound by the cost,
In a world where the truth is forever lost.
Bridge:
I reach for the stars, but they're out of my grasp,
In this gilded cage, I wear a golden mask,
The illusion of choice, a cruel disguise,
Hiding the chains that tighten with every lie.
Chorus:
False freedom, a dream that's sold,
In the night's cruel game, I'm losing control,
They say I'm free, but I'm bound by the cost,
In a world where the truth is forever lost.
Outro:
One day I'll find a way to break through,
From the false freedom that's been sold as true,
Till then I'll wander, in this web of deceit,
Searching for the real in a world so incomplete.
