Barefoot

Cold grid along the Perimeter Lines drawn sharp Against the dark I stand unshaken on Polished stone Watching the air ignite In sparks One hand resting where The fever starts Left side burning in Crimson red Right side frozen in Electric glass Every thought measured Nothing unsaid The heat crawls upward Through the floor The frost is creeping Down the frame I do not flinch I do not run I let both currents call My name Barefoot on glass Right on the line Caught in the fire Wrapped in the chill You wait for me to lose My nerve I keep my ground Perfectly still Barefoot on glass Breathing the blaze Ice in the veins Heat in the chest Two rival worlds collide Tonight And I am where they come To rest Black lace tracing Against the skin Smoke rolls thick in Heavy rings You see a figure at the Edge I feel the pull of Hidden strings No armor needed on this Ground No step backwards No retreat The mirror floor Reflects the storm Dancing underneath my Feet The heat crawls upward Through the floor The frost is creeping Down the frame I do not flinch I do not run I let both currents call My name Barefoot on glass Right on the line Caught in the fire Wrapped in the chill You wait for me to lose My nerve I keep my ground Perfectly still Barefoot on glass Breathing the blaze Ice in the veins Heat in the chest Two rival worlds collide Tonight And I am where they come To rest Zero balance Freeze or burn Nothing left To unlearn Hold the center Stand your ground Barefoot on glass Right on the line Caught in the fire Wrapped in the chill You wait for me to lose My nerve I keep my ground Perfectly still Barefoot on glass Breathing the blaze Ice in the veins Heat in the chest Two rival worlds collide Tonight And I am where they come To rest Right on the line Still standing Barefoot on glass
