Colorfly

Fold underneath the weight of the midnight sun
Stars crossed, enamoring
Revel tonight in spite of my latent raging apathy
Crescent thee, I beg on my knees but your enormity hears no prayer
Cauterize the brain, remove the plug from the drain and wash away
I was born to be a slave to the moon and seas
Oh the stars are beckoning me to fly
But these chains, these chains ground me
Waning moon and tepid ocean
Shiver in my skin
Show no sign of cold emotion
You have to pretend
I can’t erase the memory from my mind
Oh these thoughts are closing in and
Casting their tendrils through me
I can’t seem, can’t seem to sleep
