Humans are Free

[Verse 1] Why Why Why Won’t you let me live the way I choose You stand in every doorway Holding out your borrowed truths You say it’s for my safety You say I’ll thank you someday soon But every step you plan for me Turns my colors into gloom [Chorus] Why Why Why Won’t you let me live the way I choose Why Why Why Can’t you recognize happiness when it’s you I lose The truth is you’re afraid of my world Afraid that I won’t need you I don’t need your sad world Your orders And your rules Humans are free Humans are free And I choose [Verse 2] You script my every morning From my clothes down to my thoughts But joy is not a checklist And I’m not something to be taught You talk about your nightmares Like they’re hiding in my dreams But every time you pull me back You’re the one who screams [Chorus] Why Why Why Won’t you let me live the way I choose Why Why Why Can’t you recognize happiness when it’s you I lose The truth is you’re afraid of my world Afraid that I won’t need you I don’t need your sad world Your orders And your rules Humans are free Humans are free And I choose [Bridge] Look at me breathing Look at me bright I don’t need saving I need my life You can keep your narrow sky Your careful little view I was born with open roads Not a cage that looks like you [Chorus] Why Why Why Won’t you let me live the way I choose Why Why Why Can’t you recognize happiness when it’s you I lose The truth is you’re afraid of my world Afraid that I outgrew you I don’t need your sad world Your orders And your rules Humans are free Humans are free And I choose (I choose)
