Let them talk
Let them stay
Naysayers stray
While they’re watching
What we make
How we play
It’s a farce
The web we’re caught in
Why uphold the rules they made
The truths they claim
When they don’t make sense to me?
We’ll bid adieu
To all those who make us float apart
Like atoms
In an afterworld
A halo
Made of ice
Surrounds us
We remain wild
And unreconciled
Let the chips
Fall where they will
Let them spill
Like breadcrumbs
Let go of guilt
And of shame
And of pain
When all is said and done
Why try to control
The games they play
The words that sway
And the fictions put into place?
We’ll bid adieu
To all those who make us float apart
Like atoms
In an afterworld
A halo
Made of ice
Surrounds us
We remain wild
And unreconciled
