cover my eyes with foil
my ears with lies
cover my arms with birdseed and honey
watch me collapse
as i roll down the valley
my new friends take my energy
and fly away
so carelessly
but i can't complain
it's the way things are
those who come near
will always run far
a heart once gleeful
now i'll never ask for help
im tired of people
and of myself
if the earth is always
moving through space
if every day occurs
in a different place
then why does it all
feel so same
i am stuck to the ground
asking for change
