lyrics

This song speaks intention
and I’ll state it clear
it’s a sword and a shield
now defeat your fears
namely self-doubt
don’t let those flames sear
your spirit to ash
like I did for years

Now I can conceive
of authentic self-worth
in this fleeting daydream
on the garden of earth
I’m nurturing seeds
sown by sweat in the dirt
and I don’t have to believe
to keep putting in the work

If the floor dropped away
and I fell into hell
where burning souls shriek
and man’s vengeful gods dwell
I’d try to ignore
the sweet sickening smell
and draw healing water
from my inner well

I invoke the sea
to flood spiritual dearth
to quench buried heat
in the forest absurd
I’m watering trees
planted before my birth
and I’m starting to see
value in the work

I don’t think I’m special
I don’t think I’m wise
I only know the truth
as perceived by my eyes
It’s been a hell of a trip
and I’m still traumatized
but the work is to persist
on the path til we die
