I can hear the stars whispering
Their words dance through the wind
I hear my fate intertwined in the murmurs
They've written the script,
I've just got to win the award.

did you drink enough?
the taste of hope lingers on your tongue
did you eat enough?
sticky fingers pulling your fibers apart
I am soft fruit in a steel world
your fingers leave their mark in my flesh
do you feel the chill in the air?
filling your lungs with every inch of me
what does it taste like for you?
they say victory is bittersweet.

did you find what you were looking for?
you dug yourself pretty deep
panning for gold
reaching for a lost world
but all that's left for you now
is to lay in your fresh tomb

would it be incorrect
to beg on my knees for the tender caress of the open waves
though rivers and lakes lap at my ankles, telling me all I need is right here, just ask!

a sailors ears trained on the horizon, a spark in their eye for the sirens song
a hunters sigh ending in success, their hunger trained on a brief, yet bittersweet sunset
a starlet and the Creation of Adam between her and the her ocean

greed is mankind's worst flaw
for I am no kinder than a man

I finally met her
She's every bated breath I hold when feeding friends
She's every gentle reminder amongst collegues
In the kindness I bring to myself
I've become her,
The woman you were supposed to be,
