cobwebs yawn at worn out corners
shame will sing my whispers warn
fireflies fade in burning bulbs as
memory-making wings are torn
forever's filthy broken promise
lash the back of wounded past
marooned upon my stepping stone
where lucent limbo never lasts
i’ll ignore the worn out corners
turn my back on fading light
as cobwebbed feathers fight the fall
my patchwork wings intent on flight

cobwebs yawn at worn out corners
shame will sing my whispers warn
fireflies fade in burning bulbs as
memory-making wings are torn
forever's filthy broken promise
lash the back of wounded past
marooned upon my stepping stone
where lucent limbo never lasts
i’ll ignore the worn out corners
turn my back on fading light
as cobwebbed feathers fight the fall
my patchwork wings intent on flight
