I will walk a thousand miles in a warm and lit wood, Or lie in the dark all day, my chest pounding, sometimes my palms sweating. I can love you with my entire being, with an open heart and outstretched arms, I can nearly hate you also. The thought of betrayal, burning flames lapping up inside of me. I will exhaust myself with tears about things that haven't happened yet. Far off thoughts, ones that are merely dust in the wind. Then I will tell others not to worry about a thing, while my own mind consumes me and all that I do. It's a challenge to practice what I preach. I am trapped underwater, I am flying through the clouds I am singing out loudly into the bright sunshine, I am silent in the lonesome night. I am free as a wild stallion running across the grasslands, I am a bird with clipped wings. I don't know the color grey I never have.

I will walk a thousand miles in a warm and lit wood, Or lie in the dark all day, my chest pounding, sometimes my palms sweating. I can love you with my entire being, with an open heart and outstretched arms, I can nearly hate you also. The thought of betrayal, burning flames lapping up inside of me. I will exhaust myself with tears about things that haven't happened yet. Far off thoughts, ones that are merely dust in the wind. Then I will tell others not to worry about a thing, while my own mind consumes me and all that I do. It's a challenge to practice what I preach. I am trapped underwater, I am flying through the clouds I am singing out loudly into the bright sunshine, I am silent in the lonesome night. I am free as a wild stallion running across the grasslands, I am a bird with clipped wings. I don't know the color grey I never have.
