Paralipomena

I was born to wander free
 Freedom gifted by design
 Empty lies smell a hallmark of truth
 Promised world is a filth divine.
 Broken, I am left behind.
 Was I meant to be a spare
 There's a link that binds us together
 Cut me loose if you don't care
 And I wonder if our roads would meet again
 And I wonder if you'd carry me all the way
 And I wonder if there's no way back again
 Would you mind if I... Would you mind if I stay.
 Something overrules me.
 Tries to bind me in a chain.
 No matter how hard I try to be free
 A link then rejoins again.
 And I wonder should our roads ever meet again
 And I wonder if you'd then recognize me
 And I wonder if I'll drown in my past again
 Would you mind if I'm... Would you mind if I'm free.
