No Leash No Lock

Verse 1

Folded up the letter

Tossed it in the drawer

Forty hours every week

Living behind a closed door

Used to make my coffee

Forget my own damn name

Now I'm pulling off the highway

Watching morning break the same

Pre-Chorus

Nothing left to carry

Nobody to please

Underneath the overpass

I'm feeling something easing

Chorus

I'm free

I'm free

No leash no lock no chain around me

I'm free

I'm free

Took the long way just to find me

Verse 2

Ended every sentence

With a sorry and a please

Wore the same damn smile

All the way down to my knees

Shattered all the mirrors

That showed me what was owed

Now I'm standing at the shoreline

Letting every wave just go

Pre-Chorus

Nothing left to carry

Nobody to please

Underneath the overpass

I'm feeling something easing

Chorus

I'm free

I'm free

No leash no lock no chain around me

I'm free

I'm free

Took the long way just to find me

Bridge

Broke the habit of belonging

To the sound of someone's call

Traded all the crowding voices

For the silence in the hall

Watch me burn the old address book

Watch me scatter every stone

There's a quiet kind of terror

Being absolutely on my own

On my own

On my own

Chorus

I'm free

I'm free

No leash no lock no chain around me

I'm free

I'm free

Took the long way just to find me

Outro

Free

Free

Yeah I'm free

Free

Free

Yeah I'm free
