Hey,  I see you living
over there in the corner
next to the wall where
you cast your gaze

A girl (or is she a woman)
across the waves
reads my fluid vision
by way of hand

does she understand?
I found me tonight
sitting under the moonlight
I saw my wings take me in flight

wind rushes through my head
fire pushes back my dread
and replaces it with
a need to jump into the flame

I love everything that means nothing
but changes something
into something else
we spare no expense!

as the girl stared into the wall
she thought of life and how they fall
jumping is reckless
I might set up my stall

She talks in mute agony
afraid to displease
the people she sees
and the feeling she needs

Through her eyes what does she see
epitomy of desires and a need to be free
once the soul is caught she won't need me
so why I should I try and set her free

a vision of trapped beauty
a feeling of helpless mutiny
and I need her to be near
I am the gallion,  be my steer

I'll be the seer.

you know the words I need to hear
can I trust that you are here?
I don't know.

Hey,  here is my blood
can I have my food now?
Feed me through the night
and I will sleep at dawns presence
