Of Birds and Snakes

Like birds in their prime
Colourfully feathered are our lies
And like snakes in their dusty scales
We're chasing eachother in the night
Emerald eyes glowing in the dark

We're afraid to breathe
We're afraid to take flight
We're afraid to show our weakness
We're afraid to die

Like birds with their light bones
We are but one mortal species
We are one kind of dying matter
And there's nothing special to it

We drug ourselves
We don't see the forest from the trees
Our reality is one dimensional
It is our cage

Like snakes with their venom teeth
We're bound to the ground
We circle around. Biting each other's tails
Measuring our enemies. Measuring ourselves.
We're exactly the same

Slwoly we develop from colourful birds
To bitter vultures
Slowly we evolve
From snakes to lizards
Our hearts turn black.
And there's no turning back.
