Woman
She was locked up inside her cage,
only to be engaged
to be trapped again .
Her hope led into the arms,
of a man who would harm
and chained her down with “love”.
There's no escape
for what the world wants.
There's no way to get away
from what the world wants.
There's no escape
for what the world wants.
There's no way to get away
from what the world wants.
To get anywhere,
the inside must die,
only to be hollow for the rest of your life.
Your strength must not exist,
and to feel the bliss
of being the mother his child.
Theres no escape
for what the world wants.
Theres no way to get away
from what the world wants.
Theres no escape
for what the world wants.
Theres no way to get away
from what the world wants.
If she tried to do what she likes
and even tried to pick a fight,
she's only pushed into the spikes
to “get better” and feel “alright”.
If she tried to do what she likes
and even tried to put up fight,
she's only pushed into the spikes
to make her “better” and “aright”.
… “Alright”
(… Its HIS world, after all.)
