Chris Michaud - are you free?

We are trapped in the mires of our own misfortune
Yet of our own making
Circumstantial whirlpools with no escape velocity
We return into the death spirals

Evacuation notices and warning signs
Friends who disappear
Isolation leaves its scars
And on a shrinking island you cannot get far

So tell me
Are you free?
Do you feel alive
Does the memory paralyze
Like it does for me

Burning skies and no chance at a way out now
Been slowly perfecting this funeral pyre
Reach out but can never truly connect
I know it's of my own doing
But I don't want to understand

Evacuation notices and warning signs
Rowboats broken on the rocks
No turning back, no returning to
All doors sealed shut

So tell me
Are you free?
Did you ever think
This is how it should be?

No, no, no

So tell me
Was all our love in vain
Was it star-crossed
Or just merely feigned
How could I ever know the real thing?

So tell me
Are you free?
Are you alive and happy
Are you alright
Leaving it this way
