Here and now it doesn't matter   The highway you have taken   For now as you awaken   You're underneath new skin   I'm setting you in motion   And opening your eyes   And underneath these skies   You'll forget all whom you've been   I dust away the plaster   From off your breathing body   You're touching your autonomy   You'll never be the same   And fingers grab at nothing   For the first time they are feeling   For the first time they are healing   As I whisper your new name      I sculpt your nature within    I am your Pygmalion   Go now into the world   Trial by fire      The passing of an hour   The splitting of a fraction   A chemical reaction   Is waiting to fluoresce   Your mind is still rewiring   The colors of the morning   The sound of hornets swarming   The glow of my caress   And have you seen the outside   The world that lies beyond us   Where streets are paved with jaundice   Where innocence forgot?   And have you seen the future?   So hard is it to hold you   So hard is it to mold you   To something you are not      And can you live on your own?   I give you up, I turn to stone   Go now into the world   Trial by fire   Here   Now   Start to move   Uncertain with each step you take   What is gentleness beyond my eyes   Beyond my bodyscape   Turn and look one more time   See me brimming with saltwater brine   Away you run   Away I give
