about

"You grew up in freedom and you can spit on freedom because you don’t know what it is not to have freedom. I haven’t. I know that there are many things wrong with America. And I know that there are many things wrong with Americans, but I still believe that its the best nation in the world."
- Ayaan Hirsi Ali

lyrics

She wasn't living her life

Dreaming pushed to the side

Trying to stand on her feet

Violent tyrants to please

OOOO the sparkle burnt from her eyes

The future shadowed by knives

Hope cut to its knees

She had a history to clean

Tied to

Washing

Chained

weddings

Beaten

To the floor

Heart

beating

In the drawer

She had

Her romance

A hidden wish

Ghostwritten gods

Independence

[CH repeat]

Stepped off the train

Eye-rubbing skies

Handholding: safe

And the city

It spo-oke to her

Gave her life

Sun-kissing

Signs

Whisper-ing

It's your birthday

Take your gift

With Ble-ess-sing

[CH]
She('d) made a break for the door

Enslaved in bloodlines and hexed

A note pinned to his core

The knife proclaiming her next

OOO Cutting loose from the war

Unbound and beating her chest

For the freedom of love

The freedom of sex

[CH repeat]
