Analysis of O' To Be Free
This mind, a prison,
Captivated by guilt.
O' tears of fear!
crying over spilled milk.
These eyes are barred windows,
and reality, a tainted projection.
O' freedom…
Do you live in Confession?
The mind is a weapon,
leaving massacre without a trace.
The aftermath, a dark soul,
behind an appealing face.
Thinking becomes dangerous,
and is repelled by white rum.
Thoughts are true criminals,
brought to justice by the tongue.
