What to call light - think - carefully and -
call it what you like.
Fix it, fix me (even if there is a lock,
chain and key)...
Find the key that fits me - perfectly -
but just so we know that this
won't be easy... We are one -
we are falling - we are free...
If you can call freedom - a lock,
chain and key...
Pick up your wings with your
thoughts in-between the inside, the outside,
the right side, the left wing...
Leave one to die, but hold one close
enough to get blood in your eye... Sing.
Sing like you would if you wanted
anyone in... anyone knowing... Sing if
you need anything.
Breath and bleed and call it the same
thing, crossing gold and silver to deliver
each other to... the light that we need,
the light that we bleed.
