"Like an angel with two broken wings. Reach for the sky again. Like the devil, meant for better things. I will find my place on high"

Sleepless from contemplation
Contemplation eating time for sleep
But shall I starve from lack of thought?
Turning off all emotion
To move as a machine?
But I am always ravenous
Can you see it in these hungry eyes?
Manifested in the dark bags under
