Spent So Much Time Trying To Build a Bridge, I Forgot That I Could Fly
Spent So Much Time Trying To Build a Bridge, I Forgot That I Could Fly
dust off these weary wings
leave the hungry faces to fall empty and howling
all the fear
and frightened men groping for a fist
something to make you appear to them
desperate for anything
just some way to push a ghost
to convince themselves
because they know
when they turn around
the mirror is laughing
hollow men smile so well
but i refuse to be
involved in that scene
it doesn't stop them
faster, they insist
waving their arms
enter my world
intruders
the walls are hollow
and the floors and ceilings
and the mirror is still laughing.
