existential spring

what would I say if I could say anything I wanted?
I can't even imagine
spent my whole life honestly scared of having an opinion
that was different than the scripture.
standing at the mic, reading from the bible
cause I couldn't say it plain
and I'm waking up from a long, cold winter
and it's gonna take some time to adjust my eyes to the sunlight
ah, ah, it'll be alright
what would I do if I could do anything I wanted?
well that'll never happen if
I keep thinking when I'm wanting something just for me, that
makes that thing and me bad.
(cause anything you want is almost always wrong
when your heart is worst of all)
and I'm waking up from a long, cold winter
and it's gonna take some time to adjust my eyes to the sunlight
ah, ah, it'll be alright
it's ok not to know
nobody knows
you learn as you go
you learn as you go
you learn as you go
you learn as you go
ah, ah
ah, ah
ah, ah
it'll be alright

wholly

sometimes I get scared
of being myself, cause
I spent so long trying to be someone else
what are they thinking?
take care of their feelings!
when it hits me in spells, I just say to myself
that you belong to the ground under your feet
you belong, like the roots do to the tree
you belong to nothing and everything
you belong to yourself, wholly
concede with a smile
don't let them suspect me
I'm only worthwhile if I let it feel easy
and mask all my feelings
(even from me and)
it still hits me in spells, but I say to myself
that you belong to the ground under your feet
and you belong, like the roots do to the tree
and you belong to nothing and everything
you belong to yourself, wholly
say to yourself, stay with me
just as I am, stay with me
I know you haven't been safe, but
you're safe with me
no need to pretend, cause
it's safe to be
cause you belong to the ground under your feet
and you belong, like the roots do to the tree
and you belong to nothing and everything
you belong to yourself, wholly

now i see

think I've been afraid to love
afraid I'd never have enough
or get what I needed
so then I didn't
living like the love runs out
distracted by my fears about
what I could lose and
then not seeing me choose it
but now I see
it's infinite and free
and the more you give,
the more your life is filled
and you will never be
alone as you believe
felt like love was needing more
a burden to be left or born
but it's the whole reason
the good part of living
and it'll never keep you down
use you, toss your heart around
but tenderly see you
witness, support you
and now I see
it's infinite and free
and the more you give,
the more your life is filled
and you will never be
alone as you believe
oh, oh, oh, ooh
you will never be
alone as you believe

free flowing

looking at the past
(to make sure I've mastered it)
choose gratitude like an equation to solve
really feeling happy, but
sometimes I'm sad
and the blues they confuse me like I haven't moved on
and then I pause
and my heartbeat tells me
don't fight it
don't force it
don't you know you only gotta breathe toward it, and
don't try to
control it
good energy can only be free flowing
looking toward the future
and feeling insecure
when I'm not feeling like the witchy super-savior of earth
and I'm good intentioned
but I still cause hurt
and I don't know if I will ever balance light with the dark
then I pause
and my heartbeat tells me
don't fight it
don't force it
don't you know you only gotta breathe toward it, and
don't try to
control it
good energy can only be free flowing
don't fight it
don't force it
don't fight it
don't force it
don't fight it
don't fight it
don't force it
there is freedom in the flow
there is freedom in the "no"
there is freedom in the growing and going
there is freedom in the flow
there is freedom in the "no"
there is freedom in the growing and going
don't fight it
don't force it
don't you know you only gotta breathe toward it, and
don't try to
control it
good energy can only be free flowing

caught in an endless loop of
discovery and growing
that's really started showing me my
tendency for introspection
and near-constant dissection means
life could pass me by
I wanna live while I'm alive
I wanna spread out my arms and breathe the night sky
I wanna take my limited time
and live while I'm alive, live while I'm alive
I've been running this direction,
prioritized affection
between the world and me and though I
might be idiosyncratic
the connection's automatic
with people who can say
I wanna live while I'm alive
I wanna spread out my arms and breathe the night sky
I wanna take my limited time
and live while I'm alive, live while I'm alive
ah, ah
ah, ah
ah, ah
ah, ah
