Lyrics

Before the breath learned language
Before the skin learned fear
I was not singular
I was everywhere here
No clock, no separation
No line between the parts
I wasn't born into a body
I stepped into a spark
I didn't come to find myself
I came to fracture light
To see what truth looks like
When it forgets its height
I didn't fall from grace
I folded into form
I signed my name in silence
Before I could be born
I chose the weight
I chose the veil
I chose the memory of being alone
I chose the ache
I chose the trail
So the whole could feel itself in bones
I'm not lost
I'm not late
I'm not broken or incomplete
I'm remembering a contract
I agreed to keep
Some lives were never meant to last
Some love was meant to scar
Some truth only opens
When you forget who you are
I didn't come for comfort
I didn't come for ease
I came to feel division
So unity could breathe
Every meeting was arranged
Every loss had weight
Every door that felt like fate
Was a clause I couldn't break
Every meeting was arranged
Every loss had weight
Every door that felt like fate
Was a clause I couldn't break
Yeah that pain was not a punishment
The wait was not a test
It was timing in a body
Learning how to rest
Yeah that pain was not a punishment
The wait was not a test
It was timing in a body
Learning how to rest
I chose the weight
I chose the veil
I chose the memory of being alone
I chose the ache
I chose the trail
So the whole could feel itself in bones
I'm not cursed
I'm not chained
I'm not here by accident
I'm remembering a contract
I already signed
There was never a judge
There was never a debt
Only experiences
I hadn't felt yet
No karma chasing me down
No score to repay
Just consciousness
Trying on delay
I am not punished by time
I am exploring it
I am not separate from source
I'm performing it
I chose this life
I chose this face
I chose the forgetting and the return
Every fracture
Every place
Was a lesson the whole had to learn
I'm not lost
I'm not late
I'm exactly where I'm meant to be
This is not a prison
It's a contract
Being completed in me
When this body dissolves
I won't ask what went wrong
I'll return to the oversoul
With experience in my song
