Midnight Gospel

From a stillness to a tension - with voices inside

From tension to a stirring - with voices inside

From a stirring to a glitch - with voices inside

From the glitching to a rip - then I open my eyes

Leaves shed, as I come alive

Roots pull, as I come alive

Twigs snap, as I come alive

Bark rips, as I come alive

Air sparks, as I come alive

Ground moves, as I come alive

Wind sweeps, as I come alive

Lifting, as I come alive

I test my arms, as I come alive

I test my legs, as I come alive

I feel my face, as I come alive

I feel my body, as I come alive

I take a breath, as I come alive

I taste the air, as I come alive

I start ascending, as I come alive

Straight ahead, two skies overlapping

Lalalalalalala

Lalalalalalala

I was wooden and lifeless for as long as I could remember

Where harpies tormented relentlessly

And I’m heard only when bled

Ascending through the inferno

All the monsters stay below

I fall upwards, held

As the spirit moves through my breath

I use my lungs, as I come alive

I use my sight, as I come alive

I use my weight, as I come alive

I use my body, as I come alive

Towards the sun, I now propel and glide

Towards sky, I now propel and glide

I wave behind me, as I propel and glide

Every cell every bone all screaming at once

Lalalalalalala

Lalalalalalala

This and jaw unclenching

This and a clean spot to land

There is no room here for your silly howling

You must now resolve the plan

And I will uproot the secret rot

And I will change the change

I burn through the clouds with a belly full of

Secret knowledge

Secret knowledge

Lalalalalalala

I do not need to be flawless to be credible

Lalalalalalala

I do not need to fracture before I rest

Lalalalalalala

I will not minimize what my body knows

Lalalalalalala

I will not doubt what I sense

I do not need to be perfect to be valid

I’m allowed to be broken without shame

I will carry the unspoken knowledge

I will carry what I gained

After the crash landing

I am still looking like me

So close to home

I shall not be afraid of the terror

It is not evil that lurks behind in the darkness

So close to home

So close to home

Let me undo the secret rope and wipe the spirit dreams away

So close to home

So close to home
