2006 Karma - LivinForThePlanet
Cold in the wheel
Livin for the planet, science of the soul
Cold in the wheel
20th birthday, phone call hits raw
Dad crying on the line, stomach drop, that's the law
Dog gone childhood anchor ripped out my chest
Didn't lean on Megan, I just ran obsessed
Cried till the rage lit, storm in the cage
Turn pain into pushups, treadmill the stage
Obsessive restriction, 21 creds deep
Body punished daily just to bury what I keep
Love the loss, the control, I withdraw
Abandonment strikes, repeats what I saw
Round and around, karmic cold never stops
Till the grief breaks free and the armor drops
Megan reaching for me, but I pulled away cold
Background noise to the grind I sold
Thought she needed something I couldn't provide
So I hid in my shame, left her empty inside
Body with her and then, weak with each smile
Stationary bike instead of her arms for a while
Perfection was a mask, not punishment drew
Every rep was a war, every gray was a bruise
Love the loss, the control, I withdraw
Abandonment strikes, repeats what I saw
Round and around, karmic cold never stops
Till the grief breaks free and the armor drops
Two years later, Megan saying there's a guy
Didn't feel betrayal, just a hollow goodbye
Shame in my chest, man, it's all your fault
Should've held tight, let her love in the vault
But betrayal came later, hit me years down the line
Like a ghost in the basement, waiting its time
Heartless, maybe, but the mirror was clear
Cycle replay 'cause I never faced fear
To my 20-year-old self, you can't stop the rain
Grief ain't the enemy, resistance is pain
You can't control storms that swallow you whole
Only presence breaks cycles, only love makes you whole
But I armored instead, kept spinning that wheel
Repeats in my blood, tornado I feel
Now the cold in my hands, glyph carved in the stone
Grief be present, hold love full grown
Love the loss, the control, I withdraw
Abandonment strikes, repeats what I saw
Round and around, karmic cold never stops
Till the grief breaks free and the armor drops
Livin for the planet, science of the soul
The wheel revealed
