Do you miss your wings?
Do you miss your wings?
The ones I tore off my own back
Just to solder onto your flesh
The ones that allowed you to fly,
Allowed you to fall
Do you miss the empty clouds
The sun burning skin
The deep chill of night freezing your emotions
While the winds blow you from place to place
Do you miss the towering heights
The hiding places so far from home
The embrace of metallic gods
Unable to watch you fly any higher,
Lest you take over them all
Do you miss the light fall of rain
Slowly dragging you back down
Bringing you crashing to earth again
Back down to loneliness
Do you miss your wings?
