Got a big tattoo in Colorado Springs Jumped straight in the river just to feel the sting Of a permanent decision on my fleeting physical body Took my time getting up to the West Coast Read theory in the woods, drove solo My Corolla hates me a whole bunch for all those back roads potholes Being alone is freedom to me now Picking up stones to pray to I think me and God have the same roots How can you call it home if you can't take it with you? I surrendered my sword to a midnight sky The quiet composed itself and asked me why I've been fighting Then the Earth cracked once and gave me a bolt of lightning She said "you are everything you want to be You are powerless and powerful by the grace of me Come home Come home" Being alone is freedom to me now I sit with myself in darkness And when I can't find where the light is I look for a beautiful thing And recognize a piece of it in me It is through love you are sustained You are self contained It is through love you are sustained You are self contained It is through love you are sustained You are self contained It is through love you are sustained You are self contained It is through love you are sustained You are self contained It is through love you are sustained You are self contained
