I'm not sure why
But there is always so much
Beauty in the rebirth.

I wanted a picture perfect realm
Shatter onto the ground
My mother screams on the other end
The chides of a broken woman
And somewhere it gave me the strength
To realize I was settling
On the rocks
Drink it back
Spit it out

I don't know anything anymore
I don't know that I ever have
And I console myself with
Well honey baby you had to give it a try
A real try
Because that's who you are

And there are no coincidences here
It just was time to go
I know you fear your own decay
But there's so much beauty in the rebirth
And the task and life
You have taken on
Is no easy task
You had always known you needed a warrior
And many masked men
Trick themselves into thinking
They too carry a sword
Only to fall on their knees
From the weight of the strength

And that's so okay.
