Independence

My independence went away
I didn't listen when it said
'rely on yourself
trusting someone else is a path for the silent ghost'
My independence went astray
I didn't think you could betray
the pieces that belong inside yourself
Still I wonder where did we go wrong
Dear independence, which way to go?
Dear independence, the world will know
what I think is right
Dear independence, which way to go?
Dear independence, the world will know
what I think is right
My independence kicked me out
It fed me to a hungry crowd
Like a leper I'm not touched
and I cannot bear to watch
as I lose the will to lose myself
My independence, which way to go?
My independence, the world will know
what I think is right
My independence
My independence
had a mind of its own
My independence
My independence
My independence
My independence,
had a mind,
had a mind
