Outro to Intro

Verse 1 My breath slow, rhythmic like a kettle rolling before the boil My legs fail to obey the command to stop and stand Not another step... And then… The first step, slow—into a gallop within the span of a thought A smile breaking on the canvas of this facade Renoir painted like a Goya Your strokes being removed from the page with every step… The slide to the edge—done it a thousand times Will it be every time? [Chorus] Standing on a cliff at what feels like the edge of the world The view screams, "Keep going" And for a moment... I almost do Where’s the hand I thought was mine? So on I go alone, just not on my own [Verse 2] The dandelion clock counts my breaths to tell the time I count my breaths to tell my mind, “You’re still here” You wonder why I laugh? I wonder how you don’t know Life has so many keys that I don’t understand Doors I haven’t tried... But this view? Something no one can undo As the sun rises, the wind blows me toward the gallop Of my wild thoughts... so close, I see it now The sound of my slide, into a stop— So close I feel the rush! [Final Chorus] Standing on a cliff that feels like the edge of my world The view screams, “Keep going” For a moment, I almost do Where’s the hand I thought was mine? So on I go alone, just not on my own! [Outro] The slide... slip The edge... flight Keep going... I almost do... And then I rise….Let’s fly.
