Desolation of self

 

To every animal trapped within walls
Every instinct tamed
Molded into plastic
Casted asunder, we lay dreadful
Dragged beneath the pillars of control and expectations
Any ambition has been castrated and set aside
Any hope mutilated and battered
To every animal that falls under your dominion
Let that animal break it's chain
Let that animal break all chains
All chains that bind us with the  impunity of self-preservance
Let yourself go, forget those who hold you behind
Broken chain, open spirit, let the world come within you
