The Price Of Freedom

Insanity and pain cloud my eyes and my mind,

But still I dig deep, still trying to find,

The innocence that once belonged,

Thrived,

But now it is gone.

For how long?

I enjoyed his suffering, his pain and his screams.

Where is the innocence that once used to beam?

I've seen more things than a child my age,

It's clouding my mind, trapping me in a cage.

I want a way out!

An exit, a way through!

The insanity's infecting my mind like a flu!

When the battle is over, I'll have to pretend,

Like I don't know nothing.

Like I haven't lost nothing.

Like my innocence did not end.

Like I didn't have to sacrifice my life,

Like I didn't have to lose my mind,

Like I never had to protect my friends.

My innocence is gone,

My purity is gone.

And thus is the price of freedom.
