I am the one you know is there, but you can't see
I am the rot inside your head, the words recede
I am a cancer of the soul
I grow strong as you get older
Saying you will never be free
You will never be free

There is a light that no shadow can take away
Tired, fragile as my spine, but it can't break
Feel it stinging on your tongue
Like the taste of your first love
But I'm curled up in your throat
I won't let the sweetness go, go, go

You will never be free, you will never be free
You will never be free
Tie me to a memory
You will never be free, you will never be free

You will never be free, you will never be free
You will never be free
It's what you wanna believe
You will never be free, you will never be
