i can hear you shadow
i can feel you shadow
walking, walking with me
what mystery has yet to be revealed to me?
what can i not see yet
from where i am standing?
take me off the throne
off all i've ever known
about myself
and offer it to death
m-m

can you hear it?

|
|||
|
oh can you hear it?
calling on mystery
calling on spirit
calling on the unknown
we're calling you to hear it
we are singing for
the healing of the soul
to be reminded we're a part of it all
tiny little part
tiny little part
tiny little part
we're a part of it all...
we cannot do this alone

what is it like to live in your body?
what is it like to carry those stories?
of your ancestors and of these times
what is it like
to be you?

what if the parts of you that bother me are actually a part of me
that i don't want to see?
what if the parts of you
i wish i could be
are actually a part of me
with whom i've yet to agree?
what if everywhere i look literally
is a relfection of me
staring back at me
how would i live differently?
how would i live differently?
how would i live differently?
how would i live differently?

oh surrender
surrender to this
you've already jumped
into the abyss
so surrender
surrender to this
you've already jumped
into the abyss
there is no defying gravity
there is no denying agony

|
both things are true
i choose to go and i love you
both things are true
both things are true
both things are true
+ they can be contradicting truths
both things are true
both things are true
what can exist
between the binaries that we have set?
both things are true
both things are true
what can emerge
between these polarizing words?
both things are true
both things are true

carry this all

you do not carry this all alone
no you do not carry this all alone
this is way too big for you
to carry this on your own
so, you do not carry this all alone
