someone else within
is tearing down the walls
re-establishing
reconstructing
while i continue to die
a hundred times over
imagining why
reflecting hunting
soldier down
fool me once
there is no twice
i am four times
the threefold price
breaking records never made
minds blow like cannons
pouring rain on the parade
sounds escape
where words once were
beating to something new
trial is error
so what's there to lose
a chapter i wrote once
freed myself
like a runaway slave
'cept the color i am doesn't quite glow
like those of us always in the know
here there's no time to waste
even though it grows on trees
the only one setting the limits here
is me
i have grown up studying boundaries
now i learn to separate
to conquer and then divide
all that's running loose
the one that grows, the one that fuels
the one that challenges my views
tell me something that's news
and i'll tell you the answer
ultimate blissful madness
unrestrained like the wind
i believe that the sun is god
and i am the moon
the stars have tempted me
a little too soon
but when i realize that i can fly
and never leave the ground
the escapist in me accelerates
and i rush like blood
full of adrenaline
get into my head
where all this empty space
changes colors and vibrates
and my connection pulsates
the respect i measure
in lessons i've learned
in space i'm given
and freedom earned.
