Antenna Heart

I built these walls with copper wire Insulated from desire Grounded myself to stay protected Every circuit disconnected But signals kept on finding ways Through the static and the haze Realized these walls I've made Are blocking more than what I'm afraid Maybe it's time to receive Not just to transmit but believe Lower the shields I've placed so high Let someone else's signal inside I'm opening my antenna heart Learning to receive after the dark Every signal that comes through Might be painful, might be true But I'm opening my antenna heart No more playing it too smart If I only send, never take My heart's a broadcast with no intake Used to measure every frequency Check the source, the validity Quality control on every feeling Now I'm done with that self-dealing Perfectionism was a cage Kept me locked inside my rage What if I just trust the signal? What if connection's not that difficult? Maybe it's time to receive Not just to transmit but believe Lower the shields I've placed so high Let someone else's signal inside I'm opening my antenna heart Learning to receive after the dark Every signal that comes through Might be painful, might be true But I'm opening my antenna heart No more playing it too smart If I only send, never take My heart's a broadcast with no intake Antenna pointing to the sky Ready to amplify Not just my voice anymore But every signal at my door Receiver, transmitter, both at once No longer playing it safe, taking the chance An antenna heart beats different Open, vulnerable, magnificent I'm opening my antenna heart Learning to receive after the dark Every signal that comes through Might be painful, might be true But I'm opening my antenna heart No more playing it too smart If I only send, never take My heart's a broadcast with no intake Antenna heart... Antenna heart... Open... open...
