Lyrics
Before You Speak
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
With these stones that have held me here, captive
Lying now in ruins
A cascade of memories surrounds me and now
I leave the chains behind me
Remembrance is never the same when we remove ourselves
When we’re removed from the shame
Before you say anything give me this time
To find the life that was caught in endless night
Before we speak let me please see clearly
And through the ashes I will awake
The regrets that have held me here
Captive are now understood as a
Mark of my humanity
And a sign to leave the chains behind
Before you say anything
Before you say anything give me this time
To find the life that was caught in endless night
Before we speak let me please see clearly
And through the ashes I will awake
Don't worry this will all be over shortly
Before you say anything
Before you say anything give me this time
To find the life that was caught in endless night
Before we speak let me please see clearly
And through the ashes I will awake
