Bound to rack
soul is stretched
Little by little
The mind becomes brittle

break free while
the jailor turns

cocoon broken and flight
cannot be bound no more
alone, choice (or acceptance)
sees you lie
and wait to die

once free,  open the door
to be alive to explore
enter the maze
through the parting entrance

no thought can
blind the soul while it lies
immersed in it's own reality
It should be expanded (We should expand it)

not disbanded
as cold stone desires (you see what I mean?)
in this land, need is want
but want is should,  fear of blood

butterfly in a bottle
used to be a caterpillar
but I caught it
before it could escape

can you hear it?
it dances in your head
down your throat
leads you to your bed

you can't see it
but it's there
you can feel it's wings beating
as you begin to stare

hands become numb
eyes glaze into the sky
let us dare
where rocks fear to try

still moon watches over
his ever present children
rising with the feeling
comet across the sky and he screams

wet dreams for the hiding
blank sky for the dying
the hills stained with blood
and the butterfly is still in your bottle.

I don't think many people will like this one :-)

this is interesting..gave me a lot to think about for some reason  

Love can sometimes be like magic, but magic can sometimes..just be illusion
