never-song

calls, halls of archived hearts
make up this place
(never leave me
i fear that journey,
you are a dream
i've had so many
gone, the taste of sand
now it's time,
there is no neverland)

pools of memories
oceans roll, swallow
even rivers of desire
faceless waves, droplets merged
in steam that joins the sky
(never leave me,
live what you believe
be the one, the sole survivor
know you build the world to come)

hope, a fragile bird
eggshell on the ground
leave her to die
the tide will come
when winds have blown
and crabs have done tomorrow's thing
when you leave me
when you are gone
no remnant left
no language, fame
i've lost my name
can't find my mother's wing
(never go
feathers line your palm
now it's time,
there is no neverland)

the sun is fierce
our feet are fire
walk to me, my wings are wet
your voice is in the surf
the wind a knife that cuts my path
in half, i cannot fly
crystal teeth will saw this cord
between our lives, calls unheard
(never leave the bird
don't go, we can swim away
time is now,
there is no neverland)
