You Are Responsible For Your Own Freedom (Em & A)
I grew I grew
a little comfortable
a little alienated
I knew I knew
this was a trial for me
and I could cry or make it
so what are you gonna do now
now that you’re free again
now that you’re broken down?
I got tied up in a thing
and I knew some things that I forgot
I left my books under a pile
I didn’t ask if it was right or not
if I was happy or not
if I was doing the thing
or if I was wandering aimlessly
I did I did
a little wearing out
a little holding up
I said I said
this is not easy for me
like I was persecuted
and I could be executed
if I did not carefully do it
and this would sadly prove it
that I was right and I knew it
so what are you gonna do now
now that you’re free again
now that you’re broken down?
I got tied up in a thing
and I knew some things that I forgot
I left my fears under my bed
I didn’t ask if it was healthy or not
if it was hungry or not
if I was doing the thing
or if I was running
the debt collectors keep on coming
I grew I grew
a bit uncomfortable
a little liberated
I knew I knew
this was the trial for me
and I could die or take it
comfort was overrated
so what are you gonna do now
now that you’re free again?
