Canto 4: The Unchanging

Fly, broken wings
I know you are still with me
All I need is a nudge to get me started
Fly, broken wings
To somewhere we can be free
Closer to our ideal
Teary-eyed
Once gentle soul
I watched as you rotted away
The mirror says that I still remember hope
You're doing what you love
Isn't that enough? Isn't that enough?
A genius, perfect job
Isn't that enough? Isn't that enough?
Again and again
You locked me down, I locked me down
We staked me to the ground
The soil gave me warmth
Please die, little dreams
Kill the camellias in me
Wouldn't it be easier to give in?
Why are these hands chasing dreams out of my reach?
Is my thirst for normalcy odd?
Fly, perfect wings
Where have you been hiding?
Bring me to the mind that got us started
Fly, perfect wings
Show them who I can be
For the one last time, if you will
That's all
