Chains of Subjugation

Your barks, they stab me
They cause me to bleed
Through my melting flesh
And off the ashes you feed

Your roars, they burn me
Toxicity, carved into my soul
Frantic, I am floored
Desperate to remain whole

Your hisses, they paralyze me
Drowning in my own tears
You watch and assimilate, gleeful
I'm choking through your cheers

Your acrimony, it ignites me
And through your flames I rise
Careful, for my heat does flare
It is you who I despise

Cursed through your enmity
You’ve planted roots of sin
Wrapped in your bitter fury
Emancipate me, where do I begin?

It is Life that bequeaths fire
Entrusting us to tame its treasure
Such delinquency, such desecration
Disclose your damaged roots of pleasure

Bestowed with luminous wings
I flutter and strive to glide
But chains of subjugation do follow
Of what use if I am tied?

A hope to fly through your zephyrs
A dream to dance away the gale
Though belligerent is your filthy storm
And through fallacies of bliss do I fail

But this harness of restrain will disintegrate
Through the venom of your acid discourse
It is then that I glide afar, into oblivion
Withdrawing from your odious remorse

Regret and repent you will
For the darkness of night does burn
Don't reach for me at sunset
Only your spiteful shadow shall return
