You taught me how to fly Just to cut my wings off And when I tried to glide You put me in the box Locked me in a cage I couldn’t escape I thought I could find freedom if I soared away But you find ways to make me stay Feathers on the floor, scissors on the drawer your new technique to keep me around your garden, to leave me a walking bird. You seized my all, left me torn Now, obligated to dwell in your world I don’t wanna call you mine But I am yours.

Walking bird
You taught me how to fly Just to cut my wings off And when I tried to glide You put me in the box Locked me in a cage I couldn’t escape I thought I could find freedom if I soared away But you find ways to make me stay Feathers on the floor, scissors on the drawer your new technique to keep me around your garden, to leave me a walking bird. You seized my all, left me torn Now, obligated to dwell in your world I don’t wanna call you mine But I am yours.
