Unable To Get Free

[00:10.87] You asked me if I live without her
[00:13.63] I choke on my reply
[00:17.29] Let the blind man at the mirror spin his lie
[00:22.61] And I'm damned if I don't try
[00:26.34] Damned if I don't try
[00:29.92] But no matter what I say
[00:33.52] It doesn't go
[00:34.46] Away at all and I'm still unable to get free
[00:42.66] And I've been afraid
[00:46.25] Of a convenience that I could have made
[00:49.81] But having to admit this one has me
[00:55.37] And so the tiger's got his toe
[00:59.82] And the only way to holler is by letting go
[01:04.49] Still unable to get free
[01:10.73] With cork and wax I try my best
[01:14.42] To spackle in the hole
[01:17.17] The inevitable aging of my soul
[01:22.59] And my heart it gets so tired
[01:26.10] It's my heart and it gets so tired
[01:29.81] It's just a trace to track the pain
[01:32.52] The beat that I
[01:34.32] Sustain for hoping and I am still unable to get free
[01:43.40] And I've never been afraid
[01:48.09] Of a consequence that I could have made
[01:51.66] But having to admit this one has me
[01:57.96] And so the tiger's got his toe
[02:01.64] And the only way to holler is by letting go
[02:06.11] Still unable to get free
[02:15.28] ...I see connections
[02:21.51] ...In my contention
[02:27.92] ...That I could see redemption
[02:31.54] Through the bars
[02:33.44] Of this cage...
[02:35.21] And I don't know what to do
[02:38.85] I don't know what to do
[02:42.49] For accepting sight unseen
[02:45.23] So desperately I
[02:47.96] Dream of some day when I won't be unable to get free
[02:56.05] And I've never been afraid
[02:59.79] Of a consequence that I could have made
[03:04.22] But having to accept this one has me
[03:10.66] And so the tiger's got his toe
[03:14.27] And the only way to holler is by letting go
[03:18.75] Still unable to get free
[03:24.26] And I've never been afraid
[03:27.80] Of a consequence that I could have made
[03:32.47] But having to admit this one has me
[03:40.63] And so the tiger's got his toe
[03:42.40] And the only way to holler is by letting go
[03:46.97] Still unable to get free
