Burning Paper Sailboats

It didn't take long for us to realize

That we weren't all we thought we were,

That we are really so very alone,

And that we don't belong right here.

It seems there's no other place to go,

Nothing else we wish to learn;

I will stand with you in stillness,

Watching all of this burn

To ashes and to dust,

Just to try again and fail,

When we find something else for us to try

And somewhere else for us to sail.
