You can drown my voice with the buzzing of your work
You can block me out
And not care if i hurt
You can take the light
So i don't see where the shadows lurk
But you can't take my dreams, or who i want to be
Its the only thing you can't take from me
You can hold my hand, and walk me along the way
You can kick me down,
And leave me there to lay
You can burn my words
And point out every fray
But you can't bring me down,
Any time,
Any day
You can take the locks
But i can shut the door
You can take the phone
But i can still say more
You can kick me out
And bring me back in
But no matter what
I still feel locked in this pen
You can brush away my sorrows
And forget my pain
But my dreams for tomorrow keep me sane
You can act like you've been through worse
Maybe you have, maybe you haven't
You can swear and you can curse
But no matter what, I'm there for you
And through the lies i seek the truth
Your always competing against my esteem
The clashing of metal,
The stinging of greed
Pushing me down
From this pen, my words bleed
Letting go of what you have said
If you just want to be the best-
Then fine,
You
Win
No matter how many words i write,
I still feel locked in this pen
