Reflectors stab my retinas
Reflecting the inside.
Thoughts crawl out of me
Ghouls of telepathy
Constantly scratching and screaming,
"Let me be free
I wish to see."

Choke them with pills and herb,
"Stay down you awful beasts"
I used to think,
Now I just feel.
Today they will see the side of me,
The side of me I want to be.
Freely and complete, truly.
Indescribably.
I will subscribe to thee,
Til' the beast can see,
This beast will be free,
"Finally"

I can't find the words to explain
The gratitude for every single thing,
That stomach sinking feeling when
I saw your face the last time
And I knew it was the last time
Fly you butterfly
You're no longer hurting
Spread those wings
Arthritis can't grip you now
We'll miss you
But we'll see you in the seasons
In the breeze
That moves the trees
In the night sky
One more star added
In our minds
A constant stream of smile
Will fill our souls
Fly you butterfly

Everyone's individual epiphanies are
Uninteresting
But when I have an epiphany
It's unique and everyone must listen
Rinse and repeat

Setting scenes for the grand finale
The grave is dug and the widow has cried
The family mourn for what has been lost
A life so grand it had a finale

We live in boxes
Drive in boxes
To work in boxes

We live separate from nature
Drive around nature
And work unnaturally

This is not living
THIS IS DYING
WHY CAN'T WE SEE
WE ARE NOT SEPARATE FROM NATURE
WE ARE NATURE
WE WERE NOT ONCE NATURE
WE DIVERGED FROM NATURE
IT WANTS US BACK
AND SO DO YOU
STOP FOOLING YOURSELF

Your box is not you
Nature is you
Act like it

Signs go north but you point south
So I follow you
South
All the way past your brain
And beyond your heart
I arrive at your soul
You disappear
I'm now lost and scared
It's empty here

Rain falls on this desert land
With it falls hope
But unfortunately for the rain
It's still falling on desert land
