Bloom - Household

I learned this trick at a young age

Never live in the spotlight

I took all the goodness that I could find, held it up to the night

If I could give it all away, let the wind sweep it out of my hands

I could be free from the burden of lonesome pride

I’d be clean

The mind trails off until I snap back

The weight was simply replaced with shame

Facing the sun in hopes to stay warm, even without you

How did I find the time to be gone so much?

And see there it is, whispering to me like always

You’re familiar

You’ve become my lullaby for quite some time now

The mind trails off until I snap

Can I correct all of layers of lies?

Risk taking, letting myself be known to you

Offering all the pain and my goodness in hopes of what it could do

Maybe I’ll find that true freedom

And maybe I’ll hold it for a night

Courage calls me out from my shell

Liberation waits until I bloom, bloom, bloom

Shame, haven’t you had enough of me yet?

You’re beginning to take all that I am

Haven’t you had, all that you want?

You’re beginning to take away

Haven’t you had, all that you want?

I know you’ve had all of me

Haven’t you had, all that you want?

All of me

So instead of pushing you away by needing you to stay, I refrain from casually

allowing this shame to stay

And allow you to leave, allow you to go, allow you to be whatever it is that

you get to be
