Blue Rose

Oh what misery
To be born incessantly
Blush and bloom and
It’s growing under our feet

We are like the dreamer
Who dreams
And wakes and lives inside the dream
Destined to repeat

Chasing that memory of the lighting in our lungs

Over and over and over again

I will be released
From this dream
With my last breath
I will be redeemed

Drawn to the light of the burning bridge
You can’t outrun your growing shadow

There is no direction home
There’s no telling where we’ve been

You are free and that is why you are lost

Ending where we began
A spirit crawls forth
From the depths
Of a flesh covered prison

There is no direction home
There’s no telling where we’ve been

Still born
Still beating
Speaking in tongues
Searching for meaning
Destined to repeat

You could not be further from the truth
The only way out is through

Over and over and over again

I will be released
From this dream
With my last breath
I will be redeemed
