I know how to speak
And I know where I’m going
I wanted to seek
But I got distracted
It’s a mirage
That leaves me embarrassed
Cause no one knows me like you
You know there’s nothing left for ya
So I continually move
Try to pass it through for ya
The past about pain
Is timeless and honest
Let go of your shame
It’s a dead dampening blanket
It’s a façade
Go back and look at your training
There’s nobody else like you
I think I finally explained it
So I continue to move
And try to pass it through for ya
I want your name
It's burnt in my ceilings
And I want it all
An unpredictable wonder
You gave it all hope
That all of this is a circle
There’s nobody else like you
So many that came before ya
This is the moment I choose
Between the hope and the harness
Be honest
