Phantom Ashes Continued

Ashed, As A Moth Flying Into Fire The fire struggles to breathe in the wind Only burning because it was meant to Yearning to fly away in the gentle breeze And be something else, something abstract We know that feeling, that absence of I Because we were born to know What is the meaning of I? I, means solitude There has to be an alternative There has to be an us, we must exist Excavate reason and remember why We all seek to solve the mystery of I The world has crammed us full moths and myths Walking remains of all the tarnished faces That we tried to wear and hide cleverly behind The changing of our will, the will to change Is the only way to remember who we really are To all that we had and all that we have left To what we once were and to what we can be For the sake of existing in a life full of peace We have to empty our pieces and ourselves To discover and know the will of I It is only when our fire turns to ash, That we can be carried off by the wind Binary Ashes Think of us, Saying to either I can almost see you Beyond Eye
