SON

show me who i am and who i could be.
initiate the heart within me
'til it opens properly.

slow down, start again from the beginning.
i can’t keep my head from spinning out of control.
is this what being vulnerable feels like?

i swear i'll try, try, try to breathe
’til it turns to muscle memory.
i'm only steady on my knees;
one day i'll stand up on my own two feet.

i’ll run the risk 
of being intimate with brokenness.
through this magnifying glass,
i see a thousand finger prints
on the surfaces of who i am.

show me where to find the silver lining
as the mercury keeps rising,
’til the glass or my fever breaks.

show me how to struggle gracefully.
let the scaffolding inside of me be strong enough
to hold this tired body up once more.

and i will try, try, try to breathe
’til it turns to muscle memory.
i feel the pressure in my blood
building up and liberating me.

so i will try, try, try to breathe
’til it turns to muscle memory.
i'm only steady on my knees.
but one day, i'll stand on my own two feet.

i'll run the risk 
of being intimate with brokenness.
through this magnifying glass,
i see a thousand finger prints

that ran the risk
of being intimate with my brokenness.
i was given a gift of hope 
in a thousand finger prints
on the surface of who i am.

some truths, over time, can learn to play nice.
some truths are sharper than knives.
some truths we only see in the corners of our eyes.
some truths we wish we could hide.

some truths can save us,
some take our lives.
some truths are fire
and some truths are ice.

no matter what category you fit into,
truth’s got its sight set on you.

if truth is north
then i am true south.
i can’t figure it out-
God knows.
always looking up
’til my eyes give up.
that’s how i lost touch
of who i am and who i was.

some truths were sewn into our DNA.
some truths unravel and fray.
some truths keep growing taller than giants.
some truths take our breath away.
some truths get tired
the longer we wait.
well, some truths get tired
the longer we wait.

if truth is north
then i am true south.
i can’t figure it out-
God knows
i’m always looking up
’til my eyes give up.
that’s how i lost touch
of who i was.
if truth is north
then i am true south.
i can’t figure it out-
God knows i’ve tried
always looking up
’til my eyes give up.
that’s how i lost touch
of who i am and who i was.

some truths are gentle, forgiving and kind.
some truths are hard to define.
some truths are crooked, with rough edges too,
but some truths wear like comfortable shoes.

some truths are loyal
as the shadows we lead.
some truths are stubborn as gravity.

no matter what category you fit into,
truth’s got its sight set on you.
