Done.

***
You take a breath, but are you ever to start?
You call it like you’ve known all along.
You feel the weight from 20 years above you,
The voices from forever beyond.
It’s on your arm
Just to tell you when the damage is done.
You’re all you are
And has that ever been enough to belong?
You dream of everything that ever began
But the curse is in the lack of the words
You wonder numbers like the height and the speed,
The distance to the slip of the earth
It’s not too far
When you compare it to the terrible run.
You’re all you are
When you’re screaming at the top of your lungs.
Quiet star, it set it’s head and then begin again
Liar’s heart, it detonate and then begin again
Fire spark, it never stop, it just begin again
Wild dark, you raise your head and you begin again
But when you sleep it’s all the clouds and the sea
Horizon ever echoing on
And somewhere off you know that there there must be
Exactly what you knew all along
But just how far
Will you reach until the battery’s done?
You stop; you start.
The sting is ever that which carry’s you on.
Quiet star, it set it’s head and then begin again
Liar’s heart, it detonate and then begin again
Fire spark, it never stop, it just begin again
Wild dark, you raise your head and you begin again
You laugh aloud down from your infinite height
The faces staring in disbelief
They needn’t understand the fear of the flight
For you to know your own victory
You’re wild; you’re dark
And you’re only ever what you have done
You’re all you are
When you’re screaming at the top of your lungs.
Quiet star, it set it’s head and then begin again
Liar’s heart, it detonate and then begin again
Fire spark, it never stop, it just begin again
Wild dark, you raise your head and you begin again
