Always chased but never raced
Those who seek not to be kept
Will disappear with no respect
Because you chase what freedom brings
You're always a slave to something
Personality unspecific
For certain cynically twisted
Lurking in the shadows misogynistic
In a matter of time you'll go ballistic
Powerful, feeling like a king
You're always a slave to something
Freedom somewhere in your life
If you can't find it you must fight
If you can't see it you must look
If not, you'll hasten to a hook
The hook, a person or thing
You're always a slave to something
You may see freedom as colossal and anew
It is solely your thoughts in lieu
Thoughts in lieu of the truth
The truth carved into a clue
Because you chase what that clue brings
You're always a slave to something
