Worms

Worms crawl to the surface To die Commit suicide We are like worms Wiggling inside Our minds Trying to break free And fly A bird catches us In it's beak And starts to flap it's wings Carry me above the clouds And help me breath Let freedom ring Don't carry me too high So I can't find my way Back down The Earth raised me From the dirt The home of my heart A worm can't fly Only believe And try Don't leave me to drown In your bile Your talons pierce my skin Scratching away at the pedestal Leaving my words Unattainable Snap me in half I'll keep squirming My life won't stop Just because I'm hurting A worm's heart is it's body It tears and it dries But in the eyes of a bird It is life giving Don't carry me too high So I can't see the ground Don't carry me too high So I can't find my way Back down
