Respire

I fold, I give into myself
Let these tendril branch out and wrap around me
No longer a motive inside this drift
Learning to let go of the great resist
Forever a mortal man, and nothing else
A mortal man, and nothing else
Reflecting as life hands you life
Peaceful tendril wrap your arms around me so I feel free
Married to ideals and nothing else, I’ve learned to let this go
My body unto the slow
Take in water, respire
Feel deep blue, expire
Attached to an ideal, I relinquish
I fell exempt
Take in water, respire
I fell exempt
Balance the world between the gales of madness
Rocked in sway, no anchors to hold
Never as I could be
Balance the world between the gales of madness
Tow the line, search for peace, detach from the worst of me
Into the deep, eternally
Reveal to me
Where do I wander when I let go?
Or do I drift inside this slow?
Images of everything can we conceive what we believe?
Outside a falseness and outside our fear
Peaceful tendril, wrap your arms around me so I feel free
I fell free inside this slow
I’ve learned to let this go
