I used to believe the evil
I had no reason to fly
I did not believe that i had wings
Someone tucked them in deep
I am convinced the plan was never for them to be found
I used to believe the ohana
I saw a black bird today
I noticed its beauty
The grace it held, when it flew away
Don't know where it went but I know it was doing its duty
I saw that same black bird again
I had the chance to leave.
I could have been free, to never be hurt again.
So young, so dumb, I stayed and it begin.
I spent my life loving you, since we were kids.
Destroyed from the inside out,A tragedy sinners do not mourn.No pity for a star.
Here bright and burning,Here dark and cold,Alive as a star,Dead as a star.
I.
This man,
though some considered sour,
died from laughter.
II.
A pair of identical twins,
could never tell them apart
so one wonders who got this spot.
