Iconoclast

Take my hand, child
Be as one of my angels
And together we shall walk across the sky
Unto the sea of infinite light
Here is where you must leave them
Your parents, teachers, those who would be your judges
Dwellers of a dying orb condemned exist
In their war-torn temple for eons to come
Our departure shall be joyous salvation
One final act of sanctifying purity in
Which we shall rise ever higher if you’ll just take my hand
Your mind just can’t face
The terrors of being alone
A rope with no ends
Lashing itself to your soul
Don’t you close your eyes
Don’t believe what they’re telling you
Don’t be deceived by their lies
Don’t you buy what they’re selling
They lie
You are not alone
I too feel constrained
Trapped by the limitations my material vehicle imposes
I too am forever searching for a sign
I too see that this place has become ruined
As a garden becomes overgrown and infertile
Form years of neglect and abuse
We must leave here!
Trust me, and together we shall transcend to the next level
You can’t find the will
To see it through on you own
The easy way out
They’re dragging you down to their hole
Don’t you close your eyes
Don’t believe what they’re telling you
Don’t be deceived by their lies
Don’t you fall for the look in their eyes
