A standard imposed by a confrontation that we didn't need to cross that road Waiting for an unspoken judgment Thinking 'bout the scent of denied freedom Locked in a bird cage we will miss The cold of night sky on our skin Locked in a bird cage we will miss The colors of the tide closed in a room I'll wait to find the courage to resist the fear of remorse and the fear of the mist For a decision made to secure my place My place in a crowd that I've never met A standard imposed by a confrontation that we did't need The crow sings a song for my departure While the smoke makes some tears drop from my eye Waiting for an unspoken judgment I wish i could think the opposite of what i said But i carry these thoughts cause i live as you want You can cry and scream when you realize That life is not a highway but a straight to the crash We'll be lulled by the breeze during the fall I'll never found the peace cause i live as you want
