Lovely Silk

I’d love to stay up there with you
But there is something I must do
It won’t matter how much you pull now
I will always break free somehow

Can’t you see your grip is only making me feel numb?
Let me show you how strong I have become
I can live without the protection of your lovely silk
It has done its purpose like the breast milk
