Love of Liberty

Love of Liberty

The elephant that’s in the room
Has kept us all perpetually consumed
Freedom seeps like air as we’re deflated
From an emptying balloon

Recoiling from a tête-à-tête
with her disgraced tycoon
She dreams of things she couldn't say
Now she can’t speak too soon

And I know that she loves you
If only she could trust you now
You fool

That this too shall pass
Might be too much to ask to ever hope comes true
When trespass isn’t childish whim
Or a madman who’s just howling at the moon

Just how she may not bend or break with one more tangled fray
Is the paradox that keeps this night from turning into day

And I know that she loves you
If only she could trust you now
You fool
