leave your paper mistress
take off your star-struck eyes
behold the truth of an unmasked soul
that has for so long been disguised

your vision was altered to distort the fire
your wings were clipped before the turn
and from the ground you embrace the flame
caressing the heat while ignoring the burn

they say Light is but a legend
a place where men are free
but child, you won't get there

you can't reach what you can't see
