Prompt / Lyrics
“The Price Ain’t Posted” Ain’t no tag hangin’ on the wall No number you can read at all You just wake up, start to pay Little pieces every day Sold my time, sold my sleep Buried promises I couldn’t keep Every road I chose to walk Cost me more than I could talk Yeah, you don’t see it comin’ Till it’s already gone Freedom costs, but the price ain’t posted You bleed it out before you notice Every choice cuts deep and slow More than money, more than gold Freedom burns, it don’t come cheap Takes your peace before your sleep You can have it—but you’ll know Freedom costs more than they ever show Had a chain I couldn’t see Thought it broke when I got free But the weight just changed its name Still the burden, still the same Lonely nights and empty chairs Truth is heavy when it’s bare Yeah, you get to stand alone But you stand there on your own Ain’t no one to blame now Ain’t no place to hide Freedom costs, but the price ain’t posted You bleed it out before you notice Every mile, every scar Shows you who you really are Freedom cuts, it carves you deep Takes the easy, leaves the steep You can run—but you’ll know Freedom costs more than they ever show Yeah, it ain’t no flag or silver line It’s the weight of your own mind It’s the truth you can’t outrun When you answer to no one —slow, bending notes, gritty sustain— Freedom costs, and now you own it Every loss, every moment Every door you had to close Just to be the one you chose Freedom’s fire, cold and bright Keeps you up alone at night You can live—but you’ll know Freedom costs… more than your soul Yeah… the price ain’t posted… But you pay it… every day…
