Awaken the inner pattern   A murmur of self   A heart between beats   Tearing out the pages left and right   Of the human letter   In a burning moment   Threaded with compassion   Bound and held tight   In form and fashion   Bleeding restoration   Into a heart that’s grave   Breathing in life into our lungs   Into our throats like open graves   Our eyes aren’t closed   Our eyes are asleep   You have dreamt long enough   With open eyes   There is no escape for those   Who betray their inner self   Are we absent in thoughts of escape?   While our minds sleep   In days we saved   You’ve cut all ties   And broken all your bonds   To your inner self   Now you will lie   An unhappy life away   Let the fire in your eyes   Burn it clean inside   Let the blood revise the ink   In your veins   This world won’t define our hope   We’ll sit through the ashes   Until we find what’s true in our hearts   And write it there   For this is what strikes fear in the heart of man   These are the days that we’ve made   And the chances that we’ll take   We can’t carry this vessel to shore   Without an anchor of hope.
