Help me
This vessel is unsatisfactory
I'm stuck here and its killing me
Can't find my way home
I feel so alone
Please help me
Save me from the pain
Because the heartache that remains
Is haunting me
Help me
The world is so cold
I'm shivering
I can't stop shaking
My heart is aching
I can't withstand
The toll its taking
Lost in a cycle of pain
Forced to endure
Again and again and again and
Again and again
Help me
Once upon a time
Every piece fit precisely
Now they're crumbling
My world was perfection
Now I'm lost with no direction
I can't stop tumbling
Down down down down down down
I can't keep pace
My joy has been erased
The smile has left my face forever
Oh won't you help me?
Help me
I feel ashamed and unseen
Unsafe and unclean
Can anybody help me
Untangle this mess of crazy insanity?
I'm trapped in a maze of unfulfilled fantasies
Shattered memories and broken dreams
The sun shines black around me
The rain drowns my cries of misery

Ornithopter

Fly, follow the flow of the wind
Crash, rebuild, fly again
I once dreamed of a helicopter
Dreams change, ornithopter
When you land, come in softer
Dreams change, ornithopter
Craft grants the power to fly
Explore the expanse of the sky
When I fall, shapes are shifting
Something's wrong, pieces missing
Crash and burn, parachute releases
Ornithopter broken into pieces
Days quietly become years
The soaring feeling disappears
Feel the wind blow and remind me
The will to ride the current lives inside me
Call my name, come and guide me
May the sacred air reach out and find me
The key, hiding in plain view
Nothing broken, simply misconstrued
Gust of wind whispered an offer
Learn to fly without your ornithopter
Free your mind, you'll fly rather
Than you could without your ornithopter
Fly, follow the flow of the wind
A journey beyond time and space begins
May your dreams, grow ever stronger
Tethered to the present realm no longer
Fly away, find those who wander
Dreams change, ornithopter
