Sont-ils prisonniers? [French: Are they locked in?] | |
Devrais-je les libérer? [French: Should I release them?] | |
This seclusion frightens me | |
What happened to youthful armies, | |
Manicured gardens, | |
Proud role models? | |
Now I sit | |
Dependent zombie | |
Longing for the physical | |
One can't destroy energy | |
One can only transfer it | |
What if I never acknowledged reality | |
Could I avoid it? | |
Broken tree roots curling up as if to grow towards the sky | |
Inverting gravity and plummeting angels to hell | |
Grabbing air pockets to free yourself | |
You trip on extra limbs | |
And crumble in | |
The dirt feels cold and soft | |
Seems so foreign yet so welcoming | |
You hear the | |
Earth breathe and for a moment, laying there | |
Get an internal perspective | |
Molecule mix and flesh confuses with elements | |
You aren't sure about getting up | |
Perhaps the trees were right and merging with the | |
Earth is | |
The way to live for centuries | |
Coffins float upside down like cumulus | |
Knock and see who's inside! | |
You wonder how the doors don't swing open | |
Are they locked in? | |
Should i release them? | |
You leave footsteps of fire | |
So no one can follow your tracks | |
I should be trudging ahead but | |
I just keep looking back | |
You never told me that | |
I would get so badly burnt | |
I always freeze upon contact now | |
So the flames don't hurt | |
Does controlling pain make it void | |
If energy is transferred, not destroyed? | |
I invite them to all join | |
Forcing confusion through ballpoint | |
Did you forget the intentional dreaming and patriotic cut-outs? | |
I still feel the strangulation throttling me out | |
This is still not the way you want to end | |
The leaves swing down to tuck you in | |
This is where you won't wake up again | |
I hope you will - | |
I'm just not convinced | |
You feel the mantle pulse | |
The fissures throb | |
The nucleus bellows | |
You see those around you | |
Who felt it all along | |
Black eyes and superior senses | |
Curious noses seem | |
They seem apathetic | |
Should they really care? | |
They know they knew what we refuse to understand | |
Prevention only goes so far | |
Make way for the newborn | |
There's only so much carbon in the work | |
Take a number | |
You've had your time | |
Get in line | |
You must be this good to ride | |
You leave footsteps of fire | |
So no one can follow your tracks | |
I should be trudging ahead but | |
I just keep looking back | |
You never warned me that | |
I would get so badly burnt | |
I always freeze upon contact now | |
So the flames don't hurt | |
You must be this good to die |
