lyrics

before i let you go
i am so glad
so thankful and in awe of you baby
as i always will be
scarred and broken down bloody
someone to redefine pain
and redefine love
borrow and steal
bind and bite
i've tried before
and i'll try until i die
you take it as you want
baby you need to know
and you ought to by now
before i let you go
i have to thank you for so much
and thank you again for letting me let you know
baby i'll hold you until you die
and even after when we are dust
and return as cats
know what i mean, sooner or later
baby i have to thank you
before i walk away
i have to let you know
.....but i already did
and lifetimes pass and all is not shown or said
baby i love you and always will
here or there it's the same
control is a prison and we all need release
TO RELEASE
and it's okay
babe, it's gonna be okay
maybe if we both stopped fighting so hard
we'd win
babydoll be strong
you always have been
even in your weakness
baby you rise you're a superstar
a god amidst the rest of the wrecked
you too you know you are it's alright
step up you can't help it
step beyond you must
it is you
and you know it deep inside
and i'm a survivor
it's what we do
maybe we're not tired enough yet
one day exhausting surrenders to itself
immobile and breathtaking
no drug will let this be forgotten
speak
speak
but please don't use your mouth
your sweet mouth
is not a lie
ever
always and never
cascading over the rocks
breathtaking again...this beauty blinding
and lifting from us speech
a piece of the puzzle set on fire
pay attention to the date
a suggestion not a command
for never could i
and you could but won't
don't let it drip too much
don't let it bleed you dry
don't let it kill you this way
you're holding the blade
as it stands above you
the sounds of guitars swirl above you
and static and feedback paint you lovely
never is never too late
before i walk away
you walk away from me
and it is all gonna be okay
babe don't notice the stains
they prevail
see the rain washing over us
a crystal flood
nothing but this
you cry i cry
for different reasons
but no tears like those from beauty
amazement and craziness
throw down your arms
it's not defeat
it's okay to let go
you and i both
listen and heed
flow and release
you push i pull
forgone forlorn belongings
thrown into the fire
ever sensed, a caress
flesh is only flesh
the sweet smell of your flesh
the sweet taste of your flesh
awash again in crystal
lifetimes spent running away
and it's okay to be here
even the next time
when you remind yourself of where you are
it's okay to be where you are
honestly
torn apart is okay
cyst inside just under flesh
it's okay epidermis mistress
dying fresh
it's okay
there are arms cradling you in sweetness
disarmed loving and it's okay
stop squirming and enjoy
the rest of the world is where you spend your days alone
a million times over
stop squirming and enjoy mothers arms
so full of love
live through this and bleed into the god of home
you DO have one
