Faint from my Facades
[intro/refrain 1]
Tainted by the frauds
I debated giving up
and saying goodbye
(Life was fatal.)
[verse 1]
Sitting on a satellite
with my vigilant eyes
Wishing to find
A friend in whom to confide
But no soul’s design
Was so sweet and kind
To lower me slowly
from my unholy pride.
With hope, and reason to try
a different means of coping inside
I let go of every lifeline,
and floated over the side
from the Earthlings, I was up so high,
Something pulled me up and out of their sight
[Refrain 2]
Faint from my facades,
I fell naked like Adam
from naive delights
(and Im so grateful.) .
Verse 2
Diminished to a vicarious witness
behind a white picket sickness
fenced in this observatory
above it all, my cerebral purgatory.
Frowned at what I had
a fiend for the next
Drowning in the hourglass sand.
see how the scarcity mindset reflects.
I’ve made countless wishes
for my defenses to rest
May I abide in richness we are sharing
inherent in all that is ordinary.
We’re seeds in a midnight sky,
a diamond mine. (a silent bold)
While the spirit divine, (the high road)
will outlive our borrowed time
[Refrain 3]
Despite the odds,
I escaped my prison,
Set free to thrive;
(May I be faithful.)
[Verse 3]
Falling through
this atmosphere, (no sense in steering)
without a parachute, (no sense in screaming)
without fear (nobody can hear me)
The noise is echoing
organizing how i see those things
that once trembled my soul
til reality unveiled and showed me
that I dont will my heart to beat
nor do I will myself to breathe
like wind in thick hair
like wind on skin bare
Bliss is (bliss is) (bliss is)
(every) (every) everywhere
Into the abyss (abyss) (abyss)
I can stare without despair
[Refrain 4]
Despite the odds,
I escaped my prison,
Set free to thrive
(May I be faithful.)
[Verse 4, Outro]
Ive seen so many signs.
Like stairs to freedom, stars align.
Life intertwines like DNA vines,
Can I really do more than wonder why?
And still, without reason,
again, I try
Because it gives what it is
bliss will rise, (from deep inside)
from pillars to bridges
whispers advise (from deep inside)
“If you need light for a departing flight,
Here!… please.... take this heart of mine
With you, it will always shine.”
