your heart is closed,
surrounded by concrete walls,
thorns, spikes,
weapons, and mines.
(you fear everything but death.)

you are in a locked cage,
you've exhausted all of your energy.
you are controlled.
but you know
that no matter how hard
you try to pick the lock,
you cannot break free.

the words they made you repeat
are deeply engraved into your skull,
whether you believe them or not.
you are controlled.
you have no thoughts for yourself.
everything is no longer yours.

you scream and scream,
this cannot be,
this cannot be true!
YOU ARE FOOLISH,
they scream back.
DON'T YOU KNOW? YOU SCREAM INTO
A VOID, YOUR WORDS WILL
    NEVER BE
    HEARD.

such beautiful wings, young bird,
but you cannot break free and fly.
