We wear human we crave freedom
The burden of the flesh hangs lightly upon us
We're crowned with breath because we breathe
We're cursed with death because we grieve
We're larger brains we're endless curiosity
We're insatiable lovers our seasons longest
We wear ourselves out like vehicles of delight
Discard the flesh go back to the light
