Weightless

from Primal by Everson Poe

/

lyrics

What I thought were wings
have turned to stone
and I am choking on this emerald heart
chosen for its strength
it is my weakness now
pulling me down

Everyone else is weightless
but this water fills more than my lungs
I sing below the surface
and the salt stings my eyes

this isn't the kind of flight I had intended
I thought we would be kings together
i thought we would be

I thought that I should be an eagle
When I looked up to the sky
not this flightless pile of broken things

everyone else is soaring
but I can't open my wings
