My soul longs for freedom and sailing the sea
My heart longs for peace to encircle me
For years I've been haunted by demons unseen
And I don't know why things are like this for me
~0~
Once my heart loved and I sailed far and wide
And I could do anything with my love at my side
Then my world changed, and it changed overnight
And all that I owned was torn from my sight
~0~
You look at me now and you see many scars
But it's the ones you can't see that hurt in my heart
And where do you turn when everyone is gone
So I tried to forget, and I tried to move on
~0~
When all of the pain envelopes my mind
I turn to my rum for a place I can hide
But it always finds me regardless of place
And sometimes I wish I weren't on the earth's face
~0~
When death's what you wish for, it's not what you get
And then you just suffer through a life of regret
But I still have a dream of freedom inside
A place where I feel boldness and pride
~0~
But I still can't escape this place that's unseen
And I still don't have a shoulder on which to lean
Maybe someday my flag of peace will unfurl
But until then, I am alone in this world
