See us at our worst while we are shooting rifles at the stars cutting our teeth on razor blades opening smiles on each other's skin See us, scorn us, for we are mad indeed
Tell us what you think that we are broken glass And what is broken cannot be fixed by something just as broken Tell us, scorn us, for we are hopeless indeed
Loathe us for what we have for our ability to walk on the path of a crashing meteor to fly without wings, without loneliness Loathe us, scorn us, for we have something beautiful indeed
Madness, hopelessness, and beauty weaved into an artless pattern pulling at a rainbow of threads forming knots amid chaos after chaos For we are wild forests and flowers and greenery
And we choose no more We choose no less We are right where we want to be Floating in uncharted galaxies until there is only us.
