She's a blindfolded astronaut
in a sea of collapsing stars.
Planets are colliding around her.
Planets are crashing around her.
Nothing but a flaming galaxy
of burnt oxygen
and burnt bodies
and burnt everything.
Earth made flowers bloom in her lungs
and though they're beautiful,
they wouldn't let her breathe.
Then she killed them with fire.
Fire on the outside, fire from the inside,
she's a blindfolded wanderess
sleepwalking on an ocean of bright red flames.
Golden flowers, they were.
Now they're all black.
The inferno was still growing around her.
She thought she fed that fire, too.
My dear, nothing ever came out from the cage of your body.
But you're a blindfolded victim of the world that surrounds you.
So you'll never understand.
