Children Of Fall

I just want it both ways
At ease and unrestrained

Peel the velvet off the bars and taste the steel
Wake up and smell the servants leash that you can't feel
or decorate the prison, settle for predictability
It's the classic conflict of freedom versus security

I just want to have it both ways
At ease and unrestrained
At least something more than these fractions... of freedom

Growing up we spent waiting for something to make it all worth while
Happily ignorant of past and present, hope was kept alive

This is where the real conflict is
with the disenchanting reality of that which has to change
The comfort and the bitterness might get the best of us
but this is at least a last call
for you know what
