lyrics

When sky wizards – mistakenly! – allowed them
Awareness of themselves
They say it took some time to notice
I think some still have failed to notice
…
Unarmoured, unanchored
Not lost, even as a leaf on the wind
Your monster, no longer
Can’t force your eyes open to what we’ve been

To strange worlds, on strange winds
Naked to unknown forests
Name these weapons, this fight
Sharp tips of each paw, all the bits in my bite
Do I know what this is all for?
Do I know who gave me these wings?
Do I fear what will happen to me
If ever I find out these things?

You, who don’t care
What you were, and what we’ve become
You, can’t see or smell
All this changing we’ve just begun
Our tails point only down when we don’t fly
And the food flees well ahead of your stomp
I can’t be lost, never knew where I’m going
You move like a seven-legged spider limping through a swamp
…
The questions, my answer
I’m finding out what world I’m in
Your monster, no longer
Can’t force your eyes open to what I’ve seen

Vertigo Fox enjoys long walks and hikes, though the cats he inevitably encounters always tell him they're prowls. ... more
