Autonomy

from Desire by mrmoth

/

lyrics

Can a prayer be an act of treason?
Would the loyal even dream of freedom?
And if it’s all the same
How true is the faith that is beaten away?
Here I am, despite best efforts
Trapped beneath the word “forever”
Below my breath are whispered shouts
Daring the words to fall out of my mouth

No grudges for the dispossessed
Due regard to the truth confessed
No dispensation, no victims here
Only the need to make it clear
Caught between my hope and reason
Where the best laid plans get eaten
I must escape or be destroyed
So dare we go now, leaping into the void?

Jump off the precipice
Destroy the edifice
Take back authority and
Reclaim autonomy

Blinded by the light of a new day
As the morning fog burns away
Finally now, I’m given to know
It’s well past time to simply let it go
But the truth demands my action
Was simpler when just abstraction
Close your eyes, inhale and speak
Spit out the words before you get too weak

No concessions to give it time
No qualifiers for your state of mind
There’s no need to account for tears
It’s the hardest push just getting here
Speak your truth and follow through
Reach the end you’ve been coming to
As your feet find the solid ground
You learn it’s not such a long way down

Jump off the precipice
Destroy the edifice
Take back authority and
Reclaim autonomy
