hard sky's pay me no mind
learned seas pay me no mind
angel birds pay me no mind
cause i am nothing
nothing is and nothing will be
tortured in our scripted dramas
i don't want to be here
i don't want this body
i don't want this heart
i want to fly
like the bird i used to be
and the bird i will again become
likes the waves as they break on our romantic beach's
like the plants as they grow in this hardened earth
like the bees as they fly graceful and free
from a heart that doesn't want and constantly wants everything
every line like a play
every day gets less painful
i don't want it to be so
you and our life has hardened me
becoming more numb to feeling and memory
the earth will again beckon me
i will be obliged
i will give myself to my mother
and die
and be torn
and shred to soil
this is life and i'm happy
