The price ain't posted

“The Price Ain’t Posted”

Ain’t no tag hangin’ on the wall

No number you can read at all

You just wake up, start to pay

Little pieces every day

Sold my time, sold my sleep

Buried promises I couldn’t keep

Every road I chose to walk

Cost me more than I could talk

Yeah, you don’t see it comin’

Till it’s already gone

Freedom costs, but the price ain’t posted

You bleed it out before you notice

Every choice cuts deep and slow

More than money, more than gold

Freedom burns, it don’t come cheap

Takes your peace before your sleep

You can have it—but you’ll know

Freedom costs more than they ever show

Had a chain I couldn’t see

Thought it broke when I got free

But the weight just changed its name

Still the burden, still the same

Lonely nights and empty chairs

Truth is heavy when it’s bare

Yeah, you get to stand alone

But you stand there on your own

Ain’t no one to blame now

Ain’t no place to hide

Freedom costs, but the price ain’t posted

You bleed it out before you notice

Every mile, every scar

Shows you who you really are

Freedom cuts, it carves you deep

Takes the easy, leaves the steep

You can run—but you’ll know

Freedom costs more than they ever show

Yeah, it ain’t no flag or silver line

It’s the weight of your own mind

It’s the truth you can’t outrun

When you answer to no one

Freedom costs, and now you own it

Every loss, every moment

Every door you had to close

Just to be the one you chose

Freedom’s fire, cold and bright

Keeps you up alone at night

You can live—but you’ll know

Freedom costs… more than your soul

Yeah… the price ain’t posted…

But you pay it… every day…
