lyrics

battle lines drawn across your face
memories of darker days
the road you’ve walked, the steps you’ve made
have led you to this place today
remember the boy you once were
before the war, before the cure
like a butterfly you have changed
in size and form, you’ve rearranged
let your new eyes ease their gaze
reframe the scene, see in between
with rays of light that shine above
they’ve been here all along my love

lift your head out of the sand
redefine what it is to be a man
black mirror looking back at you
can steal your face, can turn you blue
step out of the ring of fire
are you led by love or by desire
turn your good ear to the speaker
begin to hear a little clearer

wearing hand-me downs that do not fit
colonial costumes and puritan shit
take off these clothes, shed your skin
you’re ready to begin again
I dig witches of the past
the badass queens in the current cast
we feel your mind, we got your back
the fearless leaders of this pack
let your new eyes ease their gaze
reframe the scene, see in between
with rays of light that shine above
they’ve been here all along my love
