The world keeps turning
Though my heart is breaking
The world goes on
And I am left behind
I see not a path from here
I see no way forward
I cannot go on
Yet my bridges have been burned
And I cannot return
I stand alone in the cold and the moonlight
I am abandoned in the night
Night is my home now
It hides me from prying eyes
I cannot leave this place
For I have built a prison for myself
And I can never escape
I am trapped in a prison of my own making
And I never made a key
I cannot leave
Once I believed I could fly away
Now I know better
I tried to fly away again
But I burned my wings
I cannot fly again
I wish I could
I flew away from the Jellicles
I made a mistake but they will not accept that
I wanted to return but I burned my bridges
And the water underneath those bridges is too deep to ford
My family has rejected me as I once rejected them
My daughter turns away from me
With a sneer on her lips and hatred in her eyes
Her daughter leans towards me
To mock me with my own words
My family has turned from me
My daughter's mate protects the Jellicles from me
He once counted me as his adoptive mother
But now he counts me as his enemy
My friends fear my influence on the kittens
They pull them away
Preventing curiosity
Will I always be ignored?
Or will I learn to fly again?
