Like untouched paws
I ache with contact...

Oh, let these masked faces reign.
I have been stripped of all I love...

I'll stay with you for now
But I know this cannot last...

Airbuds are my stepping stones
As they sing in dying tones...

Wind moans; eagles scream
Trees bark and otters dream...

I want to fly with you
if you can help me find my wings...

There's so much I hold
That tears me apart...

In your arms is the world
In your eyes is the sea...

Currents of life interwoven in time
The guilt of the masses that fell to the crime...

I watched you from the darkness
My eyes encased in shame...

From twisted vines to empty hearts
And sanctuaries came and gone...

It is this cage in which I stand
that binds me, heart and soul...
