Lyrics
I CAN?T BE FREE
(Subject: Drug Abuse)
Words & Music by: Frank McNulty
SPOKEN:
I?m living in a world of darkness,
At times, my living hell!
I have no worth, my bubble burst!
?The picture of me,? I CAN?T BE FREE!
VERSE 1: [Emotional, intense, ad-lib tempo ?
all verses]
There?s something in my brain, I?m racked with pain!
I?m lost at sea, what?s wrong with me?
I?m self-consumed, I?m surely doomed,
I CAN?T BE FREE!
My world is torn apart, I?ve lost the heart!
There is no win! I can?t begin;
No rules exist, the boat I?ve missed,
I CAN? T BE FREE!
CHORUS: [IN TEMPO: strong rhythm pattern]
Images flow, I?m in a world down below!
There is no ending in sight, there are no battles to fight;
Give me the right to be me,
To be free?FREE!
VERSE 2:
What is it all about! I?m filled with doubt!
There is no goal, I have no soul;
My ship has sailed, I?ve surely failed,
I CAN?T BE FREE!
My days are filled with gloom, there is no room
For happy days or carefree ways;
My voice is still, I?ve lost the will,
I CAN?T BE FREE!
CHORUS: [Repeat first chorus]
VERSE 3:
How can I see the light, and win the fight,
There?s got to be a place for me;
I?m on my own, am I alone?
I CAN?T BE FREE!
My days are just a blur, there is no cure,
I?ve lost the chance, no forward stance;
My time has passed, the die is cast!
I CAN?T BE FREE!
CHORUS: [Repeat first chorus]
VERSE:
[1/2 Verse only ? instrumentally ?
There is no dominant ending chord or note!
Just a single note that fades away]
