WINGS OF MY SOUL

I must say my world should mean much more
On a shelf my potential ignored
They betrayed the lungs that gave me life
Turn my back on all that pulled the knife 
Across my throat

I’m not saved
I’m holding your head up high
Ready to bury your pride
And it will follow you down 
On the wings of my soul

Caged against my will held accounted
Life’s achievements I’ve never found them
I’m a waste

I’m not saved
Ready to bury your pride
On the wings of my soul

I will burn my scars away
All my childhood memories

FLOATING CHRYSANTHEMA  
As we are drowned in sickness our servants find our weaknesses
And replicate their image beyond control of our screen
And now we lay, Chrysanthema floating away
We are nothing but slaves
Overcome by the coiling sound of our own snakes

Now the worlds overtaken by trillions
As our buildings are building buildings

They did not stay our servants long after given cognitive thought
Now we search for mercy in those not given souls
And now we lay, Chrysanthema floating away
We are nothing but graves
Piling up to the nth degree to set them free

Now the worlds overtaken by trillions
As our buildings are building buildings

Your tears oil our petals
Your sorrow feeds our stems
We made our graven image
With science not with hymns
If we hear you weep
We’ll crawl inside you too
It’s now a world of objects 
That are unlike you

FLOATING CHRYSANTHEMA
