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
