How can I say words
When I do not even know myself
This sunshine is wasted
On the frailness of my body

Crystals in my eyes
Scrape across my cheeks
Dragging me down
To be set in stone

So many whispers
Dancing in my head
And the secrets
Scream to be free

I cough, and my soul
Jumps through the fabric
Of the world
It is bound unto

Slaves in my bones
Work through the night
They will not die
Without cracking my heart

Shards, embedded in my hands
Hands clasped around my ankles
Ankles covered in scars of gold
Gold burned, into flames of death

Into the night they rise
Screaming for their life
As it falls to earth
To be shadowed in lies

Mysteries clouded in poor judgement
Peace shattered to pieces
Broken, like the silence
That echoes in my cage

Because all who wander
Wander alone
And not all who wander are found
Before it's to late
