The Beak of a Vulture

There's a strange place where my mind lives;
where in all my strings have You tied this knot?

I refuse to understand the point --
the point of adrenaline,
the fight or flight response.
The eagle has wings, not I.
The bear has claws, not I.
It's a strange place where my mind lives.
Where in all my strings have You tied this knot?

My spine unyielding, it is
Clockwork worthy of ticking, yet resistant to time
but he sees me.
his ghost touches my spine.

You said I could be happy tomorrow,
If I can suffer today.
You realize I could brave tomorrow,
If I could be happy today?

    There's a strange place where my mind lives,
    Where in all my strings have You tied this knot?
