I wish I'd just fly away,
Lead astray by the skies;
Soaring higher and higher until I just explode.
I wish I'd get tied to make me grounded:
Soft enough to sway,
But strong enough to stay;
Moving to the whims of the breeze until I just explode.
But instead I'm just filled with emptiness.
Unable to speak my censures.
But I float.
Drown me, but I'll float;
And float—
And float,
Until I get swept away.
I wish I'd just explode.
