And all the bones they carried

Became too heavy of a burden

With every sunrise it haunted them

 

Daunted them

 

Taunted them

 

 

And all the souls they carried

Became light as the wind 

With every sunset it frightened them

 

Enlightened them

 

Tightened them

 

 

And the floor beneath them began to crumble

It planted them into oblivion

It plunged them to nowhere, for there was nothing to sink in 

 

And the birds became hush

The winds had seized 

 

There, upon a great bridge 

The silhouette of life, moved with the night 

It's eyes had met mine, yet we didn't see each other

 

Somehow I knew, they wanted to grow wings

 

 

But how could I help them fly

If they only wanted to fall

And suddenly the world around them

Was no longer a world at all
