EMERGENCE

Lyrics [intro] What if I can’t do it What if I’m not strong enough What if I break before I finish What if I get tired What if I give up Yea What if Shut up [guitar/piano] [verse1] What if I keep going And bleed all my blood Sacrificing my comfort To get further and deeper in the dirt Did it without a shovel, fingers and nails Ooh.. it hurts So what… don’t stop victory isn’t cheap You can’t just give up and leave [chorus] Time to turn Let go and emerge Break out of your shell You can’t tell what it’s like Time to turn Let go and emerge Break out of your shell You can’t tell what it’s like But this new skin makes me shine so bright [verse2] Yea yea I clench my hands till my nails dig in and I bleed All the pasts couldn’t compare I was blind before I could see Now I’m up top in the sunlight breathing a new me Tired of everyone saying I did it for free You don’t understand the loss Or how much this has cost Your perceptions are wrong And your intentions are so lost [chorus] Time to turn Let go and emerge Break out of your shell You can’t tell what it’s like Time to turn Let go and emerge Break out of your shell You can’t tell what it’s like But this new skin makes me shine so bright [outro] The deeper incisions gave me something No close love could never give All the lessons cost me something I’m different now I’m driven I move less now, I listen These tests have cost me friends, family and my life I told myself anything to get out of the dark and emerge into the light Yes yea Pick it up [beat picks up] My blood beats I’m alive now I cut the chains holding me down Lifting my head I have a high brow All the mysteries I’ve found Scrolls and fire scar my mind Seeing the angels move during panic Laying down what’s satanic Cutting the roots and chains to my destiny I couldn’t believe I’ve missed something so pretty I don’t know what happened but I love what you did to me Put me in your furnace And watch my emergence Yea Oooooh All I know is that I’ve [SCREAM] EMERGED [hard low bass guitar solo] [slow violin outro] Take away my darkness Seal me away be relentless Judge and make a decision sentence me Ooooh Watch me empty out my cause And emerge Oooooh I’ve Emerged
