- CHAINS -

The sun goes down
another day passes by,
I crawl into my bed
and silently cry...

Another day has vanished,
yet I, feel the same --
though I may point at others,
I know I’m to blame

I can taste the pain
as the tears slowly fall,
if only I could fly
but instead, I crawl

These chains are what
limit me from the sky,
but I’ve lost the key
to undo these ties...

For it was so long ago
when I first felt the pains,
and with the help of society
I strapped on these chains

And now with each
and every passing day,
the binds do tighten
and my hope decays...

These chains strangle my joints
as well as my wings,
if only I could find the key
what freedom it would bring

I could soar as one
with the birds and butterflies,
and feel the wind in my hair
as it whispers on by...
