[Verse]
The clock don't tick
It groans instead
Empty bottles
Memories fed
One step forward
Ten behind
I lost my chains
But can't unwind
[Chorus]
Freedom ain't free
No
It ain't light
It drags my shadow through the night
The weight of sober
It clings to me
Freedom ain't free
No
It ain't free
[Verse 2]
Ashes whisper where flames once roared
The devil's gone
But left his sword
Each day I fight to stay awake
Each breath I take feels like a break
[Prechorus]
The mirror shows a clearer face
But ghosts still linger in its space
[Chorus]
Freedom ain't free
No
It ain't light
It drags my shadow through the night
The weight of sober
It clings to me
Freedom ain't free
No
It ain't free
[Bridge]
The river runs
But bends too tight
The moon hangs heavy
Steals the light
I walk this road
No end in sight
Freedom
It whispers
But won't take flight
