Unable To Get Free

You asked me if I live without her

I choke on my reply

Let the blind man

At the mirror spin his lie

And I'm damned if I don't try

Damned if I don't try

But no matter what I say

It doesn't go away at all

And I'm still unable to get free

And I've never been afraid

Of a convenience

That I could have made

But having to admit this one has me

And so the tiger's got his toe

And the only way to holler

Is by letting go

Still unable to get free

With cork and wax

I try my best

To spackle in the hole

The inevitable aging of my soul

And my heart it gets so tired

It's my heart and it gets so tired

It's just a trace to track the pain

The beat that I sustain for hoping

And I am still unable to get free

And I've never been afraid

Of a consequence

That I could have made

But having to admit this one has me

And so the tiger's got his toe

And the only way to holler

Is by letting go

Still unable to get free

I see connections

In my contention

That I could see redemption

Through the bars of this cage

And I don't know what to do

I don't know what to do

For accepting sight unseen

So desperately I dream

Of some day when I won't be unable to get free

And I've never been afraid

Of a consequence

That I could have made

But having to accept this one has me

And so the tiger's got his toe

And the only way to holler

Is by letting go

Still unable to get free

And I've never been afraid

Of a consequence

That I could have made

But having to admit this one has me

And so the tiger's got his toe

And the only way to holler

Is by letting go

Still unable to get free
