The blue sky rained shards of glass, as we sunk down through the sand.     While lilies sealed our lips into oblivion, eternal.                   You loved the world once, that great adventure that dangles on string.                                                                       But the world spit you out.

Final in its condemnation. You and I were left with nothing but each other’s arms as reinforcement.                                                                         The world burns in flames, clawing at our humanity.                 It wants to blot out our spark for life, till we surrender our charms.                                                                     But we’ve stopped trying to meet its demands.  

We veered from the race they predetermined.                       The air grows sweeter here; where butchers no longer reach us.                   Shackles and dead things crumble; darkness tips out from our souls.                                                                          

We found peace in absolution, freedom in disregard.  As we step into the light armed with the knowledge: That the world can no longer name us                                         and can therefore never tame us.
