Cutting the ropes showing the other me

Location

I am who I am and no one knows

I just want to dance but my parents say no

So deep down inside I hide what can`t be seen

Until the day I am set free

 

Hold down by ropes pulling me back from my other me 

Keeping my beat with the tapping of my feet

building the colors of true desire

 

One day I will just dance to my soul

Covered by the scrubs that secure me 

No people, no paperwork 

Just me and the dance floor

No needles connected to bags 

And nothing that I can consume that will kill me 

Wanting to keep the distance from the sicknesses away from me

 

My family says it`s just a hobble 

It`s more then that to me

It`s my life and I want to live it. 

 

So I will take that blade of loneliness and the cold 

And cut the ropes that are holding me 

Goodbye warmth of love 

Time to reach out and just dance with me
