Can't Travel Far

A thousand eagles alert for Mother Earth Purging evil and all those who are terse It's getting so hard but now it's easy to come by A sense of purposelessness Their claws and their caws like shattered glass Whipping us all into shape Speaking Sputtering Our voices can't travel far A thousand raindrops gnaw the rust away Leaving a signpost to help illuminate the day But it's all for nothing, we'll continue to fall down Into a trapdoor's arms Cradled and coddled til we give the fight Running out of turns again Speaking Sputtering Our voices can't travel far Falling Then scraping our knees Marching to a drum situated in a grey parade Gullible people stray further away From the sun-kissed petals etched along the bay The ones that light up and glow when you let the waves soar Past the aching sands The brightest blues and brights combat the reds Staining like a velvet vein Speaking Sputtering Our voices can't travel far Falling Then scraping our knees Marching to a drum situated in a grey parade
