I do not wish to be chained anymore,
Locked into a cycle of plans and sugarcoated conversations,
With the riches I have to give and nothing for my sanity.
He looks at me with those eyes of woe
And I feel the guilt of his pain.
Why did I choose this life alone?
It is based on broken rings and empty wallets.
I am ashamed to tell the souls from the city of angels,
For the fear of being cast me down.
I miss flying.
I can never share the true reason for my scorched feathers.
He loathes the idea of me to go home,
While they say I am trapped,
Turning my conscience off when being reminded of my sins,
Banished to the depths of hell in disagreement.
Tell me God, what should I do?
This was never the deal, it was never my plan.
He said it was only a contract and not Holy scripture.
I know now that I was not the only fallen angel.
This is not my place,
I detest this dimension,
But now, I will peel back these sheets,
Lay next to my lover,
To silently cry during his sound slumber.
