I Thought my Thoughts
I thought my thoughts would liberate me.
Boy, was I mistaken.
Instead of liberty,
My thoughts imprisoned me.
My hopes subdued and taken.
I was told my ideas could change the world
And shape great hopes and dreams.
Instead I discovered,
Those words I had suffered,
Were part of a cruel scheme
I found out a cynic's dismal truth
Soaked and saturated in lies
I came to believe,
The fantasies they weave,
Were part of their great disguise
These demons and bastards in shadows
The memories inside my mind
Torment me tonight
As they do every night,
And return my disdain in kind.
I think that sleep will relieve me.
And put these monsters out of sight
They taunt and pervade
Relentlessly degrade
I am always in for a fight
I thought my thoughts would free me.
Instead I find only despair
They float in my head
As I lay in my bed
Wishing I could no longer care.
Boy, was I mistaken.
Instead of liberty,
My thoughts imprisoned me.
My hopes subdued and taken.
I was told my ideas could change the world
And shape great hopes and dreams.
Instead I discovered,
Those words I had suffered,
Were part of a cruel scheme
I found out a cynic's dismal truth
Soaked and saturated in lies
I came to believe,
The fantasies they weave,
Were part of their great disguise
These demons and bastards in shadows
The memories inside my mind

And return my disdain in kind.

And put these monsters out of sight
They taunt and pervade
Relentlessly degrade
I am always in for a fight
I thought my thoughts would free me.
Instead I find only despair
They float in my head
As I lay in my bed
Wishing I could no longer care.
