song of risk

dim the lights, i've got a
story to tell
i've kept it in so long i could
not stomach this emptiness much longer
i harbor unease
this foolish disease called love
and retribution

i, see, i

i feel so alive
livin' off your dime
cause i'm gonna do what
i can, see just
how far i can land

far from you
and what's left of me
i'm gonna pick up
to free
i'll fight and whether
i can renew, refresh, re-
enforce i'll see
to it
to cut your cord
never knew what hit
never know what's in store

wrap these pretty little lines
around your face,
poetic little freckles turn
a cancer in your soul
i burn

and when you waken from
your slumber
i set out to reinvent

we'll chant
i feel so alive
livin' off your dime
you never knew how i felt
never saw what i could see
cause i'm gonna do what i can
break who you be
and we'll all see
just how far we land
after we've met your fist
