lyrics

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,
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.
