Alter Egoistic Innit

The reason why it's locked in a cage
A driving force you kept in place
The branch of a tree reaching for the sun
Release me!

A rolling wave without the motion
A glass of water longing for the ocean
A bud breaking free
But you keep stopping me

The rain pouring down on you
That you shielded yourself with a roof
The fire burning desperately
But you keep controlling me
