Water is beautiful
I want to sink to the bottom
And live with the fish
In a world
Where nobody talks
And we all just live
I'll tie blocks to my feet
To stay with the fish
Till Death and I meetTrees are enticing
Their leaves sing to me
Sweet lullabies
To lull me to sleep
As I hang from a branch
Belonging to the treeBuildings are so tall
I wonder what it's like
To be that close to the sky
I'll climb to the top
And learn to fly
I'll float with the birds
Though surely I'll die
Even so
Being that close to the sky
I'll aim for the stars
Jump as high as I can go
Right off the edgeBlood's so pretty
I watch it pour from me
It drips down my skin
Leaving it red and stinging
I'll cut my skin again and again
To let the scarlet liquid
Flow free from my body
To keep it caged
Is kind of selfish
It wants to be free
Just like me
