Elation

[Verse 1]
How should I start this here
There's pain in my chest, I guess it sort of feels like my heart is
Pierced
A lot to bear
And I'm underground which might explain why it's dark in here
In constant fear
Then out of nowhere a bright little light spot appears
It's awesome glow, accosts me so
Then suddenly, off it goes
I'm following this flickering light
Sort of like a light's bouncing off a mirror but no mirror's in sight
Ridiculous, right
Anyway, here I go on a mysterious hike
It masquerades as a path ablaze
In a world pitch black like Satchel Paige
It's got me on a wild goose chase
A new place, I guess I'll soon face

[Verse 2]
Unto a door we have drifted
To open it's not at all simplistic
I'm not gifted to shift it
Terrific, it's password encrypted
I'm trying to make out, does that say selah
Okay now
My eyes squint trying to make out the fine print
But it's legible, furthermore it's incredible
Peep this danger
All who desire to enter, read this brief disclaimer
Wait, this part you must cover
Take up your cross, hate father and mother
With the same posture as a plate if you break the dish
This foundation isn't make a wish
But will entirely save you from the fiery lake abyss
What should I make of this?

[Verse 3]
Do I know this recipe
To open the door, let me see, open sesame
A dish? Ooh could it be
Another word for broken, humility
Password acceptance
Just then the door opened, that's when I leapt in
So strange
Old clothes cast off, what is this a catwalk, wardrobe change
Cause this awesome robe's slick
Good thing I'm not claustrophobic
As I step in, the walls getting narrow
While I'm dressed in all white apparel
Surprise, I'm inside
An elevator with these words inscribed
As you rise from the dust
You've been in the dark so long, you need time for your eyes to adjust
