Lament

from The Body by Facel Vega

	/

lyrics

The world cracked like an eggshell and pushing at the fractures
Emerged a new pair of eyes, mirrored in my own
Incomplete glassy stories that ruled themselves
Tiny glimpses of the shadows inside…

Callow body
Shallow lungs
Eyes screaming at the hollow void
It feels so sure it can fill itself in – its tiny body won’t fly again

The world cracked like an eggshell and pushing at the fractures
Emerged a new pair of eyes, mirrored in my own
Incomplete glassy stories that ruled themselves
Tiny glimpses of the shadows inside pupils

What I saw and what I came to see
Of a figure carried by such tired blistered feet
A worn out reflection that I could not call my own
A hollow reflection that I – I refused to call my own

Oily complexion, suffocated skin
The tragedy of an unattended broken wing
