We took a step back, I think.
Interpret how you will,
but I will interpret this year as thorns
we have placed in our own fingertips
preventing ourselves from moving
and pretending we have been brushed
We are the fallenThe ones damned to eternityBeen beaten down by words and clubs and thingsThe hated and disowned againOur past lives lived without modernityFeeling as if we lived with golden wings
