To Resist Forgetting

The birthplace of creation
To walk and not run through
To remind myself
I have failed so many times

Tried my hand at redemption
Just another symptom
I have failed so many times
But I'll come out from underneath to understand

How important to identify
A gentle lullaby
For better or for worse
To remind, I have failed so many times

The heaviness pushing us down
The expanse out on either side
And if we hide for long enough
We might survive

I will wait until then
Try to look deeper
To call louder
Learning not to surrender

Learning how to lean into
Making these marks forward
In how to execute
Without a limit, without force

You're not the only one that can save us
You're not the only one that can save us
You're not the only one that can save us
(I hold it at arms length 'cause that's where I feel safe)
You're not the only one that can save us
(I hold it at arms length 'cause that's where I feel safe)
You're not the only one that can save us
(I hold it at arms length 'cause that's where I feel safe)
You're not the only one that can save us
(I hold it at arms length 'cause that's where I feel safe)
