Wings Without a Purpose

Woke up again in a bloody mess

A calling to the heart for severe distress

A devilish grin that satisfies the hunger

Only to grab and pull me asunder

Drowning deep in the hole I've created

Wishing the fires beneath can be dissipated



No amount of oxygen to breathe

Depleted of a most precious element

Cornered like a wild animal

To fight back the tides that take me

It's hard to rebel in a sea of lies



Left only for myself

Nothing but the stars that surround

Emanating the essence within me

To remind myself of the wings I possess

But what good are the wings

If the fallen ones cant get back up?



No matter how hard you try

No matter how hard you fight

You'll only end up a lie

Covered in the bullshit that drags you down

What is it I see in those with no wings?



What good are the wings

When you cant fly?

Or when you can't shine its light

On those who are in need?



A diluted hope that rests inside

No more time do I have to bide

It's do or die

When I watch those below me

Fall out of reach

Yet I am too scared to fly
