Taste

I am alive, I am awake

I am aware of what light tastes like

The curtains drawn, the table's set

I wanna be, I wanna be, at my best

It's bittersweet, it's poetry

Careful pruning of my dead leaves

It's holy ground, a treasure chest

I'm on my knees and only scratch the surface

Like fists unraveling, like glass unshattering

We're breaking all the rules, we're breaking bread again

We're swallowing light 'til we're fixed from the inside

Out of the woods, out of the dark

I’m well aware of the shadows in my heart

I wanna feel tectonic shifts

I wanna be, I wanna be astonished

I wanna be astonished

So I propose a toast

To fists unraveling, to glass unshattering

To breaking all the rules, to breaking bread again

We’re swallowing light, we’re swallowing our pride

We’re raising our glass ’til we’re fixed from the inside

'Til we're fixed from the inside

We're nothing less than a work in progress

Sacred text on post-it notes

We only speak of a world in pieces

Let's make a map of what matters most

Where every fracture is a running river

Leading us back to our golden coast

Here's to showing up

To fists unraveling, to glass unshattering

To breaking all the rules, to breaking bread again

We’re swallowing light, we’re swallowing our pride

We’re raising our glass ’til we’re fixed from the inside

'Til we're fixed from the inside
