Hurricane Ruby Lyrics by Erosian Exile

Slave to Freedom

2011

Why am i under the ground
Kicking my coffin around
Don't tell me rock is dead
Then stash it under your bed
I don't know which way to be
Divide my mind into three
I'll label one "myself"
And leave the rest on the shelf
I'll always feel incomplete
I sent my youth to retreat
When ruby valentine
Promised he'd never be mine
He told me i'd be a star
And he'd grow old at the bar
He said i shouldn't wait
I'd never alter his fate
I'll give change to the homeless
And protest the war
If there's illness abound
I'll raise funds for the cure
I'll heal everyone's pain
But it's mine i'll ignore
And nothing can take it away
I can sing to the crowd
Of the souls love could save
With the ghost of my voice
That came back from the grave
But i can't go to sleep
In the bed that i crave
And i wake up alone every day
Why am i up on a stage
Trapping a song in a cage
Don't tell me i'm naive
Then ask me what to believe
You say i traded my soul
To resurrect rocknroll
If passion had a price
What would you sacrifice?
Would you give freedom a chance?
Could it stand up to romance?
Are you prepared to choose
Between your voice and your muse?
I turned my head to the sky
And Ruby kissed me goodbye
Before a tear could crack
He told me not to come back
I'll give change to the homeless
And protest the war
If there's illness abound
I'll raise funds for the cure
I'll heal everyone's pain but it's mine i'll ignore
And nothing can take it away
I can sing to the crowd
Of the souls love could save
With the ghost of my voice
That came back from the grave
But i can't go to sleep
In the bed that i crave
And i wake up alone every day
