To Where Fires Cannot Feed

We throw ourselves like rocks against the heavens

To call to us attention and set our sites for higher ground

Weaved within the nervous system of the blood to devote

We keep the dormant fragments of self destructive code

Into the emptiness where fires cannot feed

No way to hold a burden of another name

We gnaw at each other from across the opening grave

And go to memories to visit our own lives

You carry my life inside you, my only witness

We hide in the bodies of greater beings

Together as one through endless trials

Into the emptiness where fires cannot feed

No way to hold the burden of life alive
