And iiiiiiiiii trap light beneath my paws…

And iiiiiiiiii steal life inside my skin……

And iiiiiiiiii breath shrapnel in the wind….

You whisper to my cause, blocked above the loud aplause

AND I….THINK TWICE BEFORE I WAVE

And iiiiiiii predict the loosening of the bolt….

And iiiiiiiii sew comfort on a dare

And iiiiiiiii teach infection how to care

Dangling motive down my throat, plagiarizing every note

AND I….THINK TWICE BEFORE I WAVE

And iiiiiiiii know grass is soft upon first crack

And iiiiiiiii plow underneath the throne

And iiiiiiiiii weaponize the groans

Upright it’s always black, just before the faith comes back

AND I…..THINK TWICE BEFORE I WAVE

And I resolve to make amends

And I promise to pretend

And I return what they will save

AND I….I WILL BE BRAVE

I will be brave

(truth wants urgency)

I will be brave

(truth wants urgency)

be brave

(truth wants urgency)

be brave

(truth forgets my urgency)

be brave

I will…….not……wave
