Let Life Happen
RObyn Cage
take a measured breath
not too much
just enough
to stay alive
words are better left
left unsaid
don’t express
lock it up inside
slow it, control it, don’t show it, just hold it and don’t let it go…
oh, what would happen if I
let life happen, let life happen?
let life happen, let life happen?
try to tame the flame
the belly fire
don’t desire
keep contained
feel the pressure pain
gripping tighter
knuckles white
learn to love the chains
not too much
just enough
to stay alive
words are better left
left unsaid
don’t express
lock it up inside
slow it, control it, don’t show it, just hold it and don’t let it go…
oh, what would happen if I
let life happen, let life happen?
let life happen, let life happen?
try to tame the flame
the belly fire
don’t desire
keep contained
feel the pressure pain
gripping tighter
knuckles white
learn to love the chains
choke it, control it, don’t show it, just hold it until it explodes
oh, oh, what would happen if I
let life happen, let life happen?
let life happen, let life happen?
let life happen, let life happen to me?
let life happen, let life happen?
this heart grows slower
this body of mine’s quietly going colder
the god inside’s alive
but I don’t know her
thought I heard her say
there’s no such thing as safe
take a breath
fill it up
let your love
be open wide
oh…
oh, what would happen if I
let life happen, let life happen
let life happen, let life happen
let life happen, let life happen
oh, oh, what would happen if I
let life happen, let life happen?
let life happen, let life happen?
let life happen, let life happen to me?
let life happen, let life happen?
this heart grows slower
this body of mine’s quietly going colder
the god inside’s alive
but I don’t know her
thought I heard her say
there’s no such thing as safe
take a breath
fill it up
let your love
be open wide
oh…
oh, what would happen if I
let life happen, let life happen
let life happen, let life happen
let life happen, let life happen
