You spend your whole life just to remember the sound When the world was brighter, before we learned to dim it down Call it survival, call it the freedom of will Where breath is our own, our compass needle standing still Our resignation only comes on beaten paths When the world was flat we dreamt of images If love's elastic, then were we born to test its reach? Is it buried treasure or just a single puzzle piece? It's poison ivy beneath our brave and trusting feet All revelations come to us in recovery Cry wolf, cry mercy, cry the name of the one you were raised to believe Cry heart, cry yourself to sleep, cry a storm of tears if it helps you breath If it helps you, if it helps you breath
