A Flash of Searing Light
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling Life's Brittle Bridges
Lyrics
A brittle bridge has honed me all my life
A fragile structure has shaped my existence throughout my life.
Forever spoken to in tongues with no silver line
Consistently communicated with language lacking hope or positive outcome.
Take it all, breathe in, your struggling
Embrace everything, endure it, face the challenges of your life.
Minds are bound to bend and break when stretched so thin
Mental states are prone to distortion and collapse when under excessive pressure.
I've fallen almost every time
I've experienced failure on numerous occasions.
To a flash of searing light
Frequent experiences of intense, blinding illumination.
You've never called for answers
You haven't sought solutions or explanations.
And hearts ripped from their sleeves, how they take a toll
Hearts exposed and vulnerable, facing the consequences.
Sooth each bruise with a bait hooked bite of something whole
Alleviate each injury with a tempting but ultimately harmful distraction.
Some wounds bleed out, but you can't suture a broken home
Some wounds may heal naturally, but a fractured family cannot be easily repaired.
I'll see you in the end
Anticipating meeting you in the conclusion or afterlife.
I've fallen almost every time
Repeating the acknowledgment of personal failures.
To a flash of searing light
Regularly succumbing to blinding moments of revelation.
Oh, behold as I unfold become
Expressing a transformation or revelation as it unfolds.
The man I was the light from when I was young
Become the person illuminated by light during youth.
I'll see you in the end
Expecting to encounter you in the afterlife.
