In a room full of kings
Is anyone special?
In a war between gods
Can anyone live forever?
If a bird flies too high
It's destined to lose a few feathers.
If a mother dies
Her child will try to write a few letters.
But what does this mean?
If there's any meaning in this needless piece of poetry,
It's that we all try to be special.
We all try to live forever.
We're all going to try to fly to the sun
Even if you think you know better.
You might think that you want to know better,
Lest you lose a few feathers,
But it's best that you don't.
You want to forget all your troubles.
Fall asleep in the innocence of the child.
Write letters to angels,
And try to forget the bodies on stretchers.
