Flightless

Suppressed, enclosed Desperate to escape Frantic wings beating Against the cage, constraining Heartbeat wild The knowledge too overwhelming Trust misplaced And now you'll pay With everything close And dear to your heart Wings that are clipped Broken and useless Hopes of flying just dreams Dreams of freedom fading Seeming so far away The struggle is pointless Yet persistence is key The only thing keeping Your mind from the truth Cause there is one Who could set you free And you've just seen The one Walking away
