Freedom

Drove up to the lot. It looked like any other building, but the seats were benches of stone.

It wasn't what I had expected.
For whatever reason I thought
we would sit at a table and look at books.

But instead it was bulletproof glass
So if you really were Wolverine,
you hid it well.

Whatever it was,
Imma ride or die
Because I'm no longer afraid
Of that look in your eye.

And I'm not going to lie About what I've done, or how I even know you at all.

Because when the cards are down,
I'll show the face I want them all to see
But until those rare moments
I’ll just sit and be me.

And that me is corrupted And that me was dying And that me is ashamed But so desperately trying.

And now I'm free and you are not Suddenly I don't want to pretend That I don't even want you at all.
