My fear looms like a sullen protector 
And they think it’s just coz he reject her 
That she loses the will to live
But it’s more that I cannot forgive 
The blatant, flagrant disregard for my soul 
And that’s just not the way I roll 
So I flip the papers in his face
Say I’m done being your disgrace
And run into the arms of thieves
And it’s everything they believe
As they lock me in a chasm perforate
And they do their best to educate
Me how to be appropriately fine 
But if I’ve seen it once, I’ve seen it a hundred time
In the grey and routine learned 
So I took the match and I burned
Everything I thought I knew
And it was not over you 
It was so that I could be 
The quintessence of what it means to be free
And your bullets ring in my ears
But they only echo in my tears 
And ricochet off the valleys and hills 
Of my cheeks as the river spills 
Down the landscape you never knew
I’m highlands and brand new 
Mountainous in my terrain 
And impervious to your pain 
As it seeks to latch and suffocate
All because I wouldn’t go on that date
That you thought had me like a lasso
But you’re just a man and it’s nothing new 
To think you can reign me in 
So I flash you a grin 
And Houdini disappear
I can tell when you are near
But my invisibility cloak 
Only hides me from the unobservant folk 
And once you catch my trail 
The end will come, it cannot fail
To bring the edge of the horizon 
To the colours you have your eyes on
Flying and soaring like a bird 
You did not go unheard
