how close...
can they just be locked inside
all ready for flight
fronted by outsight
looking for something else
to learn
to cling to
a needed blindness
to hide truth
as it is much too big
for this skin to cloak
is one without wings
an energy unbroke
a given description
for contained minds
absorbed deliberately
but spared from fear of the unknown
but WAIT...
the flesh is an hourglass
without the ticking clock
that spits out "choices"
how fast can it be learned
before the "time" is up
ongoing society warpings
makes for a bigger challenge
and more stress
makes the body wear out faster
the flesh is an hourglass
the flesh is an hourglass
and if the answers are inside
if there was more air...
just a little more air to breathe
how close am I
right now
all ready for flight
fronted by outsight
looking for something else
to learn
to cling to
a needed blindness
to hide truth
as it is much too big
for this skin to cloak
is one without wings
an energy unbroke
a given description
for contained minds
absorbed deliberately
but spared from fear of the unknown
but WAIT...
the flesh is an hourglass
without the ticking clock
that spits out "choices"
how fast can it be learned
before the "time" is up
ongoing society warpings
makes for a bigger challenge
and more stress
makes the body wear out faster
the flesh is an hourglass
the flesh is an hourglass
and if the answers are inside
if there was more air...
just a little more air to breathe
how close am I
right now
