Her face turned down
to watch the heavy sky
Or blow it away
With one lonely sigh

Her eyelids are shut
In a way that says she knows
When the sun is only energy
And the flowers stop to grow

Here spaceships glint like hunger
And buildings soar through space
To wear away the silence
And shatter past the grace

There is a well known warmth
That turns the sky to light
To make our feet like wings
And take us into night

But oxygen is poison
And hands are not so strong
And beauty will come to kill
If you let it breathe too long

I wish I could show you
Where the citizens stay
She watches over them
But still they tend to stray

To get into our hearts
And darken our minds
And fill us with cliches
And turn our eyes to blind

You'll want to know the secret
Of this place before the end
It could be more than magic
But less to comprehend
