Lyrics

I came alive while I was dying
The agony of the shedding skin
And it was hard and in rigid denying
I tried to hold onto the past within
My skin has stretched over years of wanting
Rivulets formed in creased flesh
My hands emerged from the bloat of destroying
My muscles broke from their cage of sloth
And now I run with my legs beneath me
My hips heavy with the years of fear
My salvation, the tears that relinquish
And I thank my God that I’m still here
I’m thankful to you, you showed me courage
In death’s throes you were hard to find
And though we did not have the love I wanted
Each passing day slips us more entwined
I am not done, I am not done wanting
I am filled with the bloom of peace
No passive flare, this is fire igniting
To lead me forward to the light
