Cold wings

A little bird in a cage

Fighting to get free

That's what I was to you

But you were too blind to see

Afraid to open the gold steel bars

To let the world touch my wings

You bash me down when I reach for the stars

But you don't understand how the handcuffs sting

There is a whole world apart form me and you

Just because the unknown is scary doesn't mean you should keep me from it

Trying to keep me safe, your hands are like a choke hold turning me blue

My life is slipping away, I seem not to fit

Into your mold

You don't understand what you're doing to me

I sit here lonely in a cage as dusk turns to dawn

You're killing me slowly, please just let me be

I love you, I do

Maybe like a slave loves a master

But my love was constant and always true

Why is it this way? It has become a disaster.
