Jesse's First Step Outside

[Verse 1] Door clicks shut Air hits hard Stairs feel like a cliff I taste iron on my tongue Hunter and Spook’s shadows Falls beside mine “Just breathe” Hunter says Like breathing isn’t work Four walls gone Nothing to lean on My eyes keep searching For an wall that isn’t there [Chorus] The sky is too big It’s falling Can’t you see it I swear the world’s unzipped And I’m slipping through the seam Call this “outdoors” Like it’s simple Like it’s easy You say it’s just the air But it feels like open terror to me [Verse 2] There’s a tree That won’t stop moving Wind shoves my hair Eyes sting and blur Huge round light above Color streaks and echoes I flinch so hard Like the ground itself might explode Hunter’s hand Is right there waiting I grip her sleeve Like a lifeline wrapped in cloth [Chorus] The sky is too big It’s falling Can’t you see it I swear the world’s unzipped And I’m slipping through the seam Call this “outdoors” Like it’s simple Like it’s breathing You say it’s just the world But it feels like open terror to me [Bridge] You promise it holds You promise it ends “Look ” Spook says “the horizon is a fence” So I count each step Like numbers are rails And every crack Is a door I survived [Chorus] The sky is still big But it’s hanging It’s not falling My pulse begins to drift From a siren to a song Call this “outdoors” Call it terror Call it freedom I’m trembling in this place But I’m standing here with you both (with you)
