Analysis of We Are



We are from the sea.
The creatures live above and below the trees.
Then one came to live in the tree.
Only saying there is a solution and a way.
The serpent lies was said.
Leaving one ear dead.
Sensing the epitome of evil in the head.
Leaving are lives changed and our trust in bed.
Sleep forever making our live difficult to fly.
There is something powerful above and below never safe to fly.
Never again will I listen to that cry.
