These mountains carve deep and break the surface of my skin

Press down on my fragile veins

They burst with ease and suddenly I am free.

 

A spectrum streams from my body

My skin begins to breathe

My tongue follows suit and its contents are free.

 

Rich blood, dreams, flames, and every color I don't see

This only can make me believe

For only once I am broken am I truly free.
