[ Bow ]

My body is every natural disaster, contained by the skin, bursting out of the seams
of my heart and of my eyes, my fingers they burn as a wildfire
I am touching you, yes, leaving my mark
And I'm the only one who feels it
The rivers are bursting again and I am happy
I am free, I ask how I could have ever forgotten
How have we ever forgotten
What it's like to walk and breathe
To become lost in the arms of honesty
I bury my face and smother it, I'll never breathe a contained breathe again
Not one polluted by your opinion, not one uttered by your judgement
Leave me to cry. And let the tears cleanse not only my body, through every pore, but my soul
I am justified by my soul, I am aware because my heart beats
It's only till the lights go out that I know it's over.
Leave me to be broken. Leave my body bruised.
I am the only one, the only who will understand.

Discontinued.

From the seas sheds a pearl
from the heavens sends you.
The crippled times of crippled minds
bind the chains that bare us.
I am calling you now,
half blind and wilted
was I sand soaked and jilted?
Would you breathe life into stony lungs?
Unleash the lock upon my tongue.
Into your sea is where I run.
Until we end where we've begun
I am calling you now

At the edge of the Earth, a silhoutte cries
To none, unnanounced, the silhoutte dies
Why does the longer linger amidst midnight stone?
Black and white ferries, she waits all alone.
I am calling you now from sand and soot
A kiss from the wind is all it took
A whimsical promise, a dreamy white stare,
The frost that clings to the crystalline air
