Set fire for wings

I have no time for the petty

My house is on fire

I have bigger buildings to build

They will house the flawed though pure of heart

Those that transform the self for sake of the whole

We will leave breadcrumbs and neon signs to our home

Each abode will burn as we travel the path of infinity

Resurrected as we shed our feet for wings

And wings for nothing
