opened my eyes stopped lying with my eyes truth and pain flew through me centuries of surviving with our eyes come with me my little child we have so far to go the storm is circling around its course again come with me my little child we have so much to see, to feel the trauma lines stretch farther than you know sow grow your seeds they came from plants before you and before them too they sometimes never got to see the sun and here you are, in front of love, they're asking for the truth the only thing it seems that you can't do the past spilling has got to stop somehow { } cannot escape ancestry let me fall into the higher frequencies and so we go now to heal it up now but i know that it takes so much time healing doesn't work that fast i had a taste of deeper loving but it will take my some to make it last opened my eyes stopped lying with my eyes truth and pain flew through me centuries of surviving with our eyes opened my eyes didn't know these walls were in front of me didn't know these walls were a(/)p of me holding energy from deep ancestry bursting open from our buds welcome spring bursting open welcome spring, and let the winter slip away x2 tear, gonna tear my walls down share, gonna share my flaws, so that I tear my walls down it'll tear, it'll tear their walls, their violent walls down share, gonna share my flaws, so that i tear my walls down and let the winter slip away
