set urself free, oui be, 2008

i should have spent more time
on the range
plinking targets and
working on my aim
a small bore rifle
a scope of polished glass
beats the mess i got
from the shotgun blast

why don't you set your own self free
i'm talking to you
you're talking to me
and i can see that this is going

careless scratches
across a green chalkboard
a pan of boiling water
about to overflow
an icy winter draft
creeping across the floor
a backyard campfire
that has lost its glow

why don't you set your own self free
i'm talking to you
you're talking to me
and i can see that this is going

a sickness falls upon me
with symptoms like the blues
i doubt my doctor
can tell me what to do
with spirits raging
the beasts of battle loosed
i climb across the bed
to suffer this abuse

why don't you set your own self free
i'm talking to you
you're talking to me
and i can see that this is going
