The Anatomy Of...

[Naked]

This is 10 song album I finished over summer. Criticism would be much appreciated!

Childhood
He can cry, but
he's not alive yet
caught in a net
of his mother's insides,
larger than the horse he rides
his body grown to
the cave where he abides,
pressure from all sides,
he may exist forever here
but he wants life!

Kick out her stomach,
cut the rope that ached your wrists
and hung you from her first,
breathe with your own lungs,
taste with your own tongue
it's time for your teeth to come in

The newly born
sleeps in his prison
embracing the sun
as it burns wooden bars,
igniting the fuel in the scars
that cover his flailing arms
gripping the sacred star,
sewn to feathers and tar
he only feels mud and whips
so he lives in his mind!

he watches
the fences take flight
the links unwind and turn to kites,
the strings hang from the night
for him to catch and watch
as warplanes fight with chocolate
and in the taste of sweets he finds
his sight is not bound by his eyes

Carry your legs,
away from the
beggars who crawl on their backs
and follow your heart as it expands
hold it in your hands
and swear to never be a man
