break down
fill me up from the ground
fill my head with sounds
chiming, swimming
miming wind patterns with your arms
blowing breezes
no need for alarm
'cause when the Gods of Thunder answer back
fall leaves swirl and swarm 'round our heads
yellow, brown, orange, and red
you were born to be brighter they said
you've been sworn to the visions in your head
you were born to be tighter they said
so you too can be flung into the air
flying 'round the world
blowing relief thru the hair
of those distraught and locked down
haunted by sweeter sounds than they've ever heard
trying to find release
but they can't find the words
