I thank these walls My hideaway My sanctuary to worship the pain I never thought I'd leave the cave But I'm more curious than afraid
Stacking layers Like sediments Each one adding weight Compression and I'm tired of forming the cliff-face inside of my chest now My ribs ache from carrying it around
Craning my neck I'm looking up I'm putting all that I gave up Eyes focused on A pin of light Arcturus beaming on a summer night
Do you wonder Who's looking back Another lifeform on some undiscovered planet A myriad of us here, but they're pointing up at our Sun and Asking themselves what exists beyond, beyond, beyond, beyond
This blinding light This reckoning There's more to life Than suffering But there's still time It's not too late Nothing will change until I change
