Crushed Wings

I knew a girl
she was just a girl
but she grew into a woman
from youth she spread her wings to fly
but freedom's a joke; freedom's a lie
as she changed she'd try and try
to become a butterfly
but a puppeteer controlled her strings
and he would not pull up her wings

just like trying to put a baby back into the womb
he tried to put the butterfly back in her cocoon
she fought and lost then fought again
against this mans opression
but then our poor woman girl just slipped into depression

I knew a woman
a beautiful woman
but she faded into nothing
a woman who gave up wanting to fly
she knew she'd never reach the sky
he wouldn't let it happen so why should she try?
to become a butterfly

he'd done so many terrible things
but worst of all?
he crushed her wings
