I’m leaving for the countryside, every step I take, I’ll take a long deep stride I will shed these layers, and I will put out these fires But every bridge I cross, I’ll burn with healing fire My feet must go, and my heart it must follow But if I’m right these breezes will blow me home You say you’ll miss me, saying baby don’t leave me But I need a truth, something to bring me back to you I hear rain now, I hear a train crawling Cross the great plain pumping out my shame Cinder burning through my veins And all the while it’s calling out my name You said nothing safe about staying the same Now I hear the swell of water on the plains These branches grow mean, they’re always whipping my cheeks Saying slow down you fool, you’re missing the things unseen You said time would heal my pain, I’ve stuck around for your sake But I know when I must leave, I know because I can’t breathe I met a man of old age, a patron of time and space I asked him to lend me his hands, to help me understand He said you’ll hear a drum beating loud, a choir of children belting proud A ballad of reachable dreams, a sonnet for us to come clean He said I hear rain now, I hear a train crawling Cross the great plain pumping out my shame, cinder burning through my veins And all the while I heard the same refrain Don’t you dare forget from which way you came son Don’t you dare forget from which way you came

You're coming back so breathe freely I need your keep, I need anything From the child picking cattail reeds From the little girl grown into a lady I named mother's window blessed Grown tall from the chest For a vice presents the healing; rise the less As your head shakes from left to right and right to left We are Indian Paintbrush peace Pick them and rub them on our cheeks War paint to fight for liberating For your very being to be free I came the juvenile blessed By fellow offspring expressed And the sum of the world's state in your chest Revelations of love raw in my breath Brace for holy rain And heroes of grace Lifting your face

Cradle rocker dressed in white Where is my, where is my Angel that falls but doesn’t fly In my mind, in my mind Nebula's and black holes in the sockets Of their eyes, of their eyes Full of depth and so majestic But you’ll never see mine You’ll never see mine

Innate 03:16
My blood burned a dangerous heat; I need something to console an inner peace I clothed my feet and swung the door, I’m leaving till I settle my scores In my soul I felt the weight of loved ones falling from the face of truth I need someone to listen to me without taking a grain of salt for a mountain Your minds over-thinking, your eyes overlooking, your mouth overworking, your ears shut tightly I’ve cried, I’ve ran, I’ve held my tongue, I’ve faced death and I know it hasn’t won I’ve played the selfless part yet I still hurt the ones around me I should love Call on me, and I will answer to your laments, if you promise to listen to mine as well My minds over-thinking, my eyes overlooking, my mouth overworking, my hands holding up my world The time has come for you to see the hope in you arose he hope in me What else is there You need to learn from what you’ve seen. Windows only shed light if they are wiped clean Your hearts outreaching, your hands ever bleeding, your lips letting loose these words, I swear I’m listening
