Beacons

(album: Draw Down The Moon - 2021)

I was floating there for so long
King of nothing, but the space I take up
I felt it all at once (I felt it all at once)
I was floating there for so long
Petrified by the sight of the sun
I felt it all at once, it felt like nothing at all
Fire broke loose in a moment there
I let it breathe for the first time
And as it danced through the room undressing, it held
The closet shut, but I was out with the

Beacons of that shame left behind
For the first time I felt alive
I thought I couldn't move my feet, but I'm
Running with you now, we're a stampede, tell me
Everything I know about love
Now it's thicker than my blood
I thought I couldn't move my feet, but I'm
Running with you now, we're a stampede, baby

I'm running with you now, we're a stampede, baby
I'm running with you now, we're a stampede

I was floating there for so long
I couldn't speak, now I can't stop my tongue
Nobody shut me up, no, it was nothing at all
So throw away the albatross
Take fortune in everything
And be the sword swinging back to the anvil that birthed it
Put your pain on the pyre, let the light be the

Beacons of that shame left behind
For the first time I felt alive
I thought I couldn't move my feet, but I'm
Running with you now, we're a stampede, tell me
Everything I know about love
Now it's thicker than my blood
I thought I couldn't move my feet, but I'm
Running with you now, we're a stampede, oh

Beacons of that shame left behind
For the first time I felt alive
I thought I couldn't move my feet, but I'm
Running with you now, we're a stampede, tell me
Everything I know about love
Now it's thicker than my blood
I thought I couldn't move my feet, but I'm
Running with you now, we're a stampede

I'm running with you now, we're a stampede, baby
I'm running with you now, we're a stampede
