learn to enjoy your cage

terrified to fly alone
you decide to clip your weathered wings
fall from the sky like a stone
to see what a more grounded life may bring

try your best to forget
exactly just how good it felt to be free
tell yourself you're better off
with having companionship instead of wings

with no means of escape
comfortably locked away
well i hope for your sake
you can learn to enjoy your cage

terrified to die alone
you hastily make a nest
blindly bind yourself to
the first one who casually happens to say yes

try your best to not regret
replacing your freedom for a piece of mind
tell yourself that your choice
for comfort clearly was the best at the time
