Be strong, girl
His aim is fair
Back to back,
he can feel the wind in your hair
Ten paces,
Ten chances to turn
I made my bed so they could lie in it;
I hear them laughing at me still
The angel said,
“He lives inside your head”
It’s time to take him down, take him down a few
Reflections in liquid stone;
If you win tonight,
you can go back home
He’s hoping you’ll miss the mark
But you can see in the dark

I close my eyes
Four thousand years slip through my mind
My memories hold the evidence of time
Your face familiar,
your hands so cold
My debt is old
Safe, in my garden
Safe, in the way I pray
In my name
It’s the same
In the subtle way I shame

The money is warm in my hand;
Expressions shifting like sand
My footsteps are loud in my head
Did I wake up this morning?
Spotlight is on me
The fight inside on overdrive is calling me
to dance in places that shake my bones
My skin begins crawling like ants are inside of my veins
My heart begins pounding like ghosts have been calling my name
Can I take care of myself?
Suit up, only one way to tell
Spotlight is on me
The fight inside on overdrive is calling me
to dance in places that shake my bones
When all was said and done, I knew I couldn’t run
The magnifying glass is my greatest teacher
It’s been a long road, but I claimed it
If it won’t leave, then I’ll make it my eyes
A long road, a long road, a long road…

They tell me, “Let it go now”
I grew skin around it so I think it’s mine
Hold me, feel the static
Thoughts keep running, burning trails inside my mind
I’m not that fragile when it starts to ride
I let it eat me from the inside
When there’s nothing left of me to fear
I hold my hands up to the dark sky and I
Am a power adapter
And it’s slow going, sticky footsteps
quicksand takes the speed from all I do
Hold me, feel the silence
like a training weight I’ve been hiding from you my whole life
You’re not alone
Just tonight I lay awake in thought of all the things that
I’d done wrong
Remember what you came here for

Almost out the door
It could’ve been the wind, but then again
my hands are shaking
They said they knew me well
I don’t know how they know
Taking shade with the tree that puts its roots inside the stone
My higher thoughts have told me to go home
Tell me, have you known me all my life?
Were you waiting for the right time?
I hope you know what you’re doing
I’ll lay my life in your hands
There’s no better way to say I hear you
Centuries of running away from my thoughts
I’ll find it in my heart to forgive me
And I know it’s bad to worry
it gives you little lines
in the corners of your mind

I don’t know why it took so long
I’d heard the voices
every one but my own
When I stopped to listen, didn’t recognize what I heard
My voice so quiet
hardly understood the words
Pity that I didn’t hear you calling me till now
The guests had all gone home, and I finally whispered to the empty house,
“You can come out now.”

I walked through the valley with my music in hand
My eyes still closed
I sensed there was silence in the words that I spoke
Oh, you and I both
White light is an island in my mind
and it grows and grows and grows
Bright steel on the fortress of my life
and it’s so hard to know
Come with me, and I will show you where it lies
It’s like a pulse beat through a field of snow
and when the bass comes, you know
You’ve been sitting on the pendulum with your head hung
While a fire tries to rage
My heart becomes a brazen thing
My ventricles, like tentacles, attempt to mend my broken wings
I walked to the tower with my hands at my sides
My eyes still closed
Someone told me, "Hold your head up high. There is nothing to be afraid of."
The pendulum brought me to my knees, and I said,
“I dare you to keep me here.”
