We Squirm

Do you seriously believe

That you will not be a prisoner

Do you insistently try

Over and over to seem free in life

In the ways you treat your loves and the lives 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

And the 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'll you'll ever have freedom

From your tyrant heart
