The Clearing

Keep breathing in, keep breathing out
If god exists, it lives in doubt
It moves along the faces of our deepest regrets
Don't look away, there's fight within us yet
If closed eyes are the solutions
To the tyranny at hand
Then the world will burn around us
And diversity be damned
We know we have a fire
Much stronger than the doubt
The fight in us can’t be settled
Tempered or blown out
Am I losing it? I’m falling fast
Short of breath, I’ve lost my grasp
Will I find the clearing in the thicket of my fear?
Has divinity abandoned me here?
It’s easy to stand taller
When you’re standing for a friend
But when we’re called to stand for everyone
Will we then?
We will hold the line for others
Different though they are
Because we know that what is different
Creates the human spark

Worse than it’s ever been
Unlike they have ever seen
Past crimes culminate
Tumble and gather
Punished with illness
Diseases of the mind
Brought on by centuries
Of captivity underfoot
And some say that humans are inherently good
While looking at the backs of their eyelids
A calm and soothing fuzz
Gathering over oceans
Mother knows best
They have only survived

Lost at sea I hear the siren’s cry
Battered by waves and longing to die

Interstitial motions
The beauty of blood
Clot and flow
Motion above
On my feet all night for you
Tend to the wounded saying “this is repair”
On my feet all night for you
Nothing more eternal than the beat of a heart
Suck your lungs
Make you breathe
I am always here for you
Can you even hear me saying “this is repair”?
I will walk or run to you
Charging electricity and clearing the way
Now we’re all in motion
Capture the wave
Nothing is precious
Choking your brain
We’ll be here all night for you
Nothing more eternal than the beat of a heart
I will hurt all day for you
See you in my dreams you’ll be the lump in my throat
I’ll see you in that gray place between
Dead and alive, a place that nobody knows
I’ll be here all night for you
Can you even hear me saying “this is repair”?
I’ll see you in that place
The place nobody knows
Saying “this is repair”

I was told, never fold
Now you know, now you know
Winter’s cold, don’t break the mold
Now you know, now you know
So I’ll stand by you like I’m tethered to your wounds
And I’ll memorize all your fears
And make sure they’re my own
All while twinkling like a diamond in the sky
But I’m gonna be somebody brave
So tenacious you could burst
And resilient against
Guilt and holding grudges
Despite all your nudges
