lyrics

It's not hard to be here,
Among all the lights and bright blooming marine life.
Striving away from bitter institutions that only held me back,
I'm not pushing forward, I'm cutting through like a knife.

There are streams behind me,
I can look back on where I came from.
I'll never forget where I came from,
As I follow the spirit drum.

It was easy, before all this.
Dancing with spirits in the forest,
And the apparitions of the air.
And they were all so modest.

They'd hold this breaking boy tightly,
Wrapping me in roots, and healing me with clean air,
And dancing me to glory with the sweet sound,
Of their singing prayers.

I'm much healthier now.
I've danced with the melodies of the earth,
And I've spun circles with the butterflies of the sky,

And now I'm pressing fast through caverns,
Diving deep depth's without drowning,
I'm not alone. You took part with me before this.
You healed with me and are now searching,

For something.
Neither of us know where we are headed yet.
But we're happy knowing that we are heading there,
Together. Away from the fears and debts.

But something's not right.

You're starting to choke,
As if the final enchantment to

I want it,
I take deep breaths,
But there's fire in my lungs!
