The boat is taking me higher
I’m no longer afraid of fire
No inclination
There are no differences
Not any longer

The vines grow around the knees
While arms wrap around
The broad trees
The serene sound screams
“This is the love
We evenly need
It’s in the ring
It’s in the rings”

I’m going to let it run
With the dark sails
And the barrels of rum
Pirates are building brotherhood

I’m going to let it fly
With the balanced scales
And the torches on fire
Dragons don’t need to hide in caves no more

I’m going to let it live
With a set of unburdened wings
And the dusts to keep instead of give
Fairies prepared their last wish

The vines grow around the knees
While arms wrap around
The broad trees
The serene sound screams
“This is the love
We evenly need
It’s in the ring
It’s in the rings”

I want to go
All the way to the moon
I hop the fence and hit my head
I’ll be there soon

Thinking
I like to walk around the block
The sun always shines
The fence is unlocked
Springs open all the time
Clock myself doing nine
Speed limit was twenty-five
Didn’t get home until night
I awoke to see it glowing full
After all the rolling hills
Funny how many ways
Dreams are filled

The vines grow around the knees
While arms wrap around
The broad trees
The serene sound screams
“This is the love
We evenly need
It’s in the ring
It’s in the rings”
