What carries me above the earth
when you try to drag me down
is the victory i can picture
in the overhanging future
you wish that i would drown
in rising water
but i'm not your lamb
to slaughter
you cannot extinguish
the flame inside my heart
that burns always brighter
than your iridescent hate
i cannot wait
for the day we come to part
i'll watch you wallow
whilst i'm flying high
you can follow
if you try
in my footsteps +
borrow 1/10th my feelings
i'll soar on the wind of tomorrow
and shatter through the ceiling
The wind of tomorrow
will carry me home
to where i want to be +
i'll sing a fragile
chinese melody
whilst you're scrubbing at the deck
building all the way to
nowhere
i'll forget your face
when you're dotlike
down below
i'll re-inflate
take off + go
i'll laugh
when i consider
the pangs of yesteryear
the tears +
the sorrow
blown away like dust
by the howling winds
of tomorrow
