Break Free
Taste of Freedom
You said I was an angel
Then sawed off my wings
Woke up a decade gone
Flightless
Terrified of my own skin
Living with a monster
Hiding behind human bones
Feigning affection in public
In private frigid cold
Promised me a life on fire
Neglected to mention
It was me you planned
to burn alive
Found the key to my cage
Appeared out of reach
A fingers grasp too high
Saw the panic you felt
When you saw me see
That all I had to do
Was grab the key
The demons you harbor
Inside disgusting ego trips
Nothing but insignificant parasites
Cowardice dripping from their lips
A specialized diet of
Fear created in malice
If I was an angel
Was it the devil who
Made you so callous?
Time for you to starve
The prisoner is free
Is it wrong that I sigh
While you suffer and can't breath?
