I'm trapped in this cage while others hold me down   Direct my pen as their fist comes down   They meddle and interfere in my affair   With the written word and God how could you dare   But you did so      Killing my words   I misunderstood the word free   Killing my words   Does it even apply to me?      If the mixing of my words makes you scared   They're just that, words, you could not bear   If it's that horrible, hide it and now one will know   It is the coward's way that lets this terror go   And it goes on      Killing my words   I misunderstood the word free   Killing my words   Does it even apply to me?      And I am one   As they are many   And they cut me down      As I bleed   From my mind   You will hear no sound      I refuse   And they insist   And we battle on   In the end   Who will stand   I believe I will carry on      When I put my pen to the sheet   I describe the things that you cannot see   You have audacity that is beyond compare   Are you restricting my thoughts   And this I cannot bear   And it ends now      Killing my words   I misunderstood the word free   Killing my words   Does it even apply to me?
