We Squirm

Do you seriously believe That you will not be a prisoner? Do you insistently try over and over To seem free in your life In the ways that you treat Your loves and delights And your troubles and fights, and me? Well, let me say Yeah, go ahead and try But I say you will be captive along with me We're stuck in the muck of our hearts In fear that we'll find That these feelings of ours Start to seem like bars So we squirm and sink deeper Yes, we wriggle into jail cells But I say, "Let feelings hold you" I say, "Embrace your captors" I say, "Get to know them deep" Have no news you won't hear Have no truths you won't tear No hope that you'll ever find freedom From your tyrant heart
