To break free
That is commonly said
For things such as cages and chains

Though there exist
The chain that binds
For things such as relationships

The dog that is bound
To a leash and tree
Seeks the pleasure to be free
But there are dogs
Happy to be leashed
As they are well fed and safe by the tree

So do we break
Or keep the sake
Of the chains that bind, we

Twelve hours ago
I knew
I would see
The death of me

I woke up drowning in my sheets
Another day to do my job
Slowly starting up the daily routine
I could still feel my head throb

Night shifts are normal shifts
It's the only time that would work
Slowly sifting through the filth
Of the memories they took

I pick out things put in some,
I sometimes put in fakes
Does it really matter?
It's just happiness at stake

My cause is unexplained
No compensation or benefits
My work has no awards
But it keeps everything together
Every night and every day

Another sleepless night
Feeling the day wasted
No woman, just frustrated
A thirst unsatisfied

Tossing and turning
Sheets are now burning
The trapped heat
Making the surface

Drifting now
Wished to be
On an island
Away from everyone

Sun slaps again
Another day suffering
To taste the end
Is defeat accepted

A little bird told me
That one day I'll be
Free to fly
To touch the heavens

Another little bird told me
That I'll still be
Bound and caged
To dream of the sky

We are birds
Destined to fail or fly
Let not the sky be the limit
But the weight of feathers

Tell all the other birds
The wings of our destiny
