Amidst the verdant tapestries, you tread with gentle sway

A voice which brings me to my knees, it lights the way

Awaiting with my longing’s plea in places I know better than to stay

How long until I find the will to take a chance on long abandoned faith?

A step too far and the earth cracks beneath my feet

Just loud enough to make you turn your gaze to me

Persephone

(Say it out loud)

What am I hiding from?

(Say it out loud)

What am I hiding from?

Had my head below the surface for so long that I forgot my lungs could breathe

Any words would flee from me, for as I heard you speak I felt the air recede

And I can’t think

Though my courage took a while

You surprised me with a smile

And the distance feels like miles

Til you offer me your hand

And though I cannot explain it

I am terrified to break it

So I hesitate to take it

Yet I do, and here we land

How long would I go on

Not knowing life beyond

The somber semblance I had made?

And when she’s gone

The feeling lingers on within the subtle notions

Motioning a vote to leave or stay

When I return my world will never look the same

She asks my name

What am I hiding from?

(Say it out loud)

What am I hiding from?

(Say it out loud)
