Lyric

You laugh and call it freedom

While drawing lines you never cross

You choose the places you won't touch

Then wear a face without a flaw

All those nights you never chose

You never say you turned away

You call it wisdom, don't you?

Another way to stay the same

You say you're not controlled

Then tell me why you shake

Where does that fear come from?

What are you trying to escape?

What do we call this sin?

The one you hide behind the truth

What do we call this sin?

Inside the voice that speaks of freedom too

Safe emotions

Preset in your mind

Borrowing words from someone else

Just to feel alive

When did choosing not to hurt

Become something to be proud of?

If you praise yourself for standing still

Tell me what you really saved

You say you never ran away

But your footsteps disappear

You pretend nobody is judging

While drowning in your fear

What do we call this sin?

The one you hide behind your name

What do we call this sin?

When you pretend you're not to blame

Denying every cage

While cheering from inside

Still believing freedom means

Just choosing where to hide

You reject the walls around you

But you built them with your hands

You call it being careful

You call it who you are

What do we call this sin?

You roll it quietly on your tongue

What do we call this sin?

You want to keep your hands so clean

You want to name it something beautiful

Something no one can condemn

But it's not a sin

You just never felt the dirt

Close enough to touch your skin

What do we call this sin?
