i scarred my tongue
biting down for way too long
but now, i'm freeing her again
a lyrical device

poised for proclamation
to bring it to an end
and i'm sounding out the meaning
in the colors that surround it
fading farther from the reason
that i'd ever want to doubt it
i caged my song
held it in for way too long
but now, i'm making my amends
we'll see if she can fly
and find emancipation
in stepping from the ledge
and i'm sounding out the meaning

in the colors that surround it

fading farther from the reason

that i'd ever want to doubt it

and i stare down from a great height,
taking it in
feeling this light flow through me
and i don't care if the sun burns through
all of my skin
watching the fault lines fade underneath

and the sorrow now recedes

and the nervousness subsides

and the message is received

and the feeling, so divine
