Blueprint

Lean right in with new eyes
But watch your step!
For the ground takes hold
Wishing brings in a fog
So shake my hand like a humbled fool

Life’s a pattern of lines
And all’s been stitched
-It’s long-closed wound
There’s no reason nor rhyme
So all we need’s to let go!

You always say it like you mean it
But we both know ‘twas only for show

Here’s to starting over!
Bring the inside out
Go full circle with a hole in the edge
From the things we design
-The ideas we can never take back

O’ how we love to count the priceless pieces!
And I’ve been here before!
It’s where I lost your support
There was enough to leave you so speechless—speechless!
But not enough to keep control
So just remind me, why did I try?

Here’s to starting over!
Bring the inside out
Go full circle with a hole in the edge
From the things we design
-The ideas we can never take back

There’s so much that I had
-So much I couldn’t see
Easier said than done
But don’t seat me at the table of gods
To watch ‘em drop
Shot—not a bullet
But got to blast through it, y’all!

I wrote the path—every single print
I made the lines with my blood
I can draw anything
And I’ll make this real!
‘Cause that’s who I am!
I laugh in the face of disgrace
With a pen raised high
When everyone else here denies who they are
I stand in the light
And I scream, "You’re a star!”
No, I’ve come way too far!
I’ll not be shut down by these spears
I’ll repent after all!

Go full circle with a hole in the edge
