Bleed The Words

from The Way Up by Benjamin Jay Thomas

/

lyrics

Feel right...
Nothing is ever going to feel right
As sure as the blackness of dark night Folds out the color of day
And the small steps
Both of us taking are blind steps Feels like we’re faking the confidence Over and over again

Could we ever feel so brave that we bleed the words right to the page?

Every email I write
Every text that I send
Every chicken scratch song I've penned out
Is motivated by my need to exist in a universe beyond myself
I'm afraid you'll tune out
I'm afraid you’ll move on
to the hip young new girls and boys
I'm afraid that my voice will get lost in the chasm of you-tuber static and noise

Feel so brave
Pulsing with then energy
Running through your veins
So could you ever be
So brave
That you bleed the words right to the pages
Feel so brave
Catalyze the stars and light and dark and Bring them in
So that we can feel So brave
Everything is resonant
Nothing disconnected
Now
Say yes
Everything is resonant
Nothing disconnected now
