"To Live For What Once Was" lyrics

"To Live For What Once Was"
(feat. Eric D Johnson & Phil Scragg)

Moving up and down
And back to where I've been
No matter what I do, I'm trapped
Like a man in a jail of his own
Everything I want is old
Inspired by then
Everything I feel is false
Like a lie, like a younger man's own

Free, but not free
Free, but not free

Stop me looking back
To live for what once was
Get me on my own and I'll prove
That I'm a changed man, ready to roll
I see my younger self
In front, behind, above
I see him in the street, in the pub
In everything, all that I do

Free, but not free
Free, but not free
