INTO THE DISTANCE
A RIBBON OF BLACK
STRETCHED TO THE POINT
OF NO TURNING BACK
A FLIGHT OF FANCY
ON A WINDSWEPT FIELD
STANDING ALONE
MY SENSES REELED
A FATAL ATTRACTION
THAT'S HOLDING ME FAST
HOW CAN I ESCAPE
THIS IRRESISTIBLE GRASP
CAN'T KEEP MY EYES
FROM THE CIRCLING SKY
TONGUE-TIED
AND TWISTED
JUST AN
EARTHBOUND MISFIT I
ICE IS FORMING
ON THE TIPS OF MY WINGS
UNHEEDED WARNINGS
I THOUGHT I THOUGHT OF
EVERYTHING
NO NAVIGATOR
TO FIND MY WAY HOME
UNLADEN EMPTY
AND TURNED TO STONE
A SOUL IN TENSION
THAT'S LEARNING TO FLY
CONDITION GROUNDED
BUT DETERMINED TO TRY
CAN'T KEEP MY EYES
FROM THE
CIRCLING SKIES
TONGUE-TIED
AND TWISTED
JUST AN
EARTHBOUND MISFIT I
ABOVE THE PLANET
ON A WING AND A PRAYER
MY GRUBBY HALO
A VAPOR TRAIL
IN THE EMPTY AIR
ACROSS THE CLOUDS
I SEE MY SHADOW FLY
OUT OF THE CORNER
OF MY WATERING EYE
A DREAM UNTHREATENED
BY THE MORNING LIGHT
COULD BLOW THIS SOUL
RIGHT THROUGH
THE ROOF OF THE NIGHT
THERE'S NO SENSATION
TO COMPARE WITH THIS
SUSPENDED ANIMATION
A STATE OF BLISS
CAN'T KEEP MY MIND
FROM THE CIRCLING SKY
TONGUE-TIED
AND TWISTED
JUST AN
EARTHBOUND MISFIT I
