Circles

[Chorus]
Willing and able
These scars that fell at my table
Grounded and forming
Forces I’ve fought from a sensitive calling
Willing and able
But how the mind runs in circles
Time travelling old wounds
Leading to archives deprived

[Verse]
Time travelling through old wounds
Winter got me curving cold blues
When the clocks go back and the dark descends
New year but I’m living in the past few
No way to wade through all the scars
Got hope but a haunted heart
Got gold in my lungs and it weighs me down
Just seeking my speech but it feels like drown-ing
Will my dreams come to fruition?
Much more than spells and wishes
Of some mad woman
Who believes in 'suttin
'Cause
So subtle the way it tastes there's
No un-collateral way to chase these
Dreams I, I die
I decide for myself and I see the
Leaves been falling again
Autumn calling again
Just long enough to forget the warmth lose sight
Of the past and prepare to descend
Birds, trees sing again
It’s a racing game again
Am I chasing paper or yearning to find my own place in this world?
Haunted by all the ghosts
Put myself first and hope
When the time is up, 'cause the time be up
Did I hold myself through it all, proud?
Did I sacrifice enough for the wage?
Lose my mind and pursuit of faith?
And leave love behind
Just memory, shrouded in all the abuses
Saline won’t wash away all of the cause of my doubt
No matter how I lay down
Blood sweat and tears, it won’t count
My roots tell me that
I know how they bled their soul to survive
But that is just why, I refuse to deny
As sure as your soul flew east, I gotta fight
'Cause you put all this all in me too much love inside my blood and it has to be heard, free this bird

[Bridge]
Oh, I’ll free you
I’ll free you
I’ll free you

[Chorus]
Willing and able
These scars that fell at my table
Grounded and forming
Forces I’ve fought from a sensitive calling
Willing and able
But how the mind runs in circles
Time travelling old wounds
Leading to archives deprived
