Atropos - BODI

Never will fall, never will fly

Never be able to make it alive

Never will know when it’s my time to go

But until that day shows I will open my eyes

Never will crawl, never will dive

Never be able to see my demise

Ending is up to the fates to decide

And I leave no regrets in the shadow behind

This is life

Rage against the dying of the light

Balance on a tight-rope, threads, slowly sliced with a knife

Find a way to navigate the mines and find happiness

Defined as cutting ties with fear and living where our passion is

Here, now, the moment’s quickly passin'

And no matter what we do our life is held ransom

Asking what the meaning is, but we’re the one whose questioned

Lessons learned and finding answers, pass em on is our redemption

Never restin, when moments test our poise

Try to knock us down with suffering we can’t avoid

We make our choice, bow or keep our eyes up

Give in, give up, and wave the flag or make our tragedy a triumph

It’s rarely easy, but truth is that we’re all in need of the grind

To give it purpose, what’s freedom if we never know the bind?

And there’s no shackle, til sound of the gallows and gavel go strike

Except what we give power to

Nothing holds us from our flight

Unless we let it

This is beautiful — even when it isn’t

And my limits make me stronger when I choose to fight against em

No longer, and honor truth that I wander along the route

On my own and I water roots when I’m showin how to lace boots

And keep going, never slowing down, holding on until I’ve found

What I live and what I fight for, what I’d gladly give my life for

When I find my why I can handle any how

I can sacrifice blood and sweat from the brow

Freedom’s the acceptance that the work is always endless

And don’t let this second guess the seconds spent until the day I exit

Left or stage right — no time for stage fright

No lines to memorize, just do my best to improvise

In disguise I reside if I wear a mask of lies

To try to hide my frightened eyes

Blinded by the stars I idolize

And try to be like

Rewrite this foolish path to roam

A sleep walking dead zombie living in the catacombs

Destiny is only shown to those who’ve got the strength to face

Their demons straight and see em break

Beneath the weight of love we make

Em free, and let go of waiting for the crystal ball

Back against the wall will conquer nothing if you think you’re small

You are, but legends mark their own tarot cards

Count the blessings till the endings dripping bone marrow hard

It will be, again and again, but everything, everyone, everywhere passes

And dreams are made awake, not waiting on a mattress

Until we catch our train, moment-to-moment we capture and master this

No Lazarus, there’s no ever after after this
