can't find the forest
E C#m7 A
too stuck on the trees

E C#m7 A
to open my cell

you came as kaleidoscopes

climbing, colliding
C#m7 A
you came as yourself

whether i'm ready

is not up to me

to the close of creation

right foot to left knee

ambivalent peaks

we made our projections
present and free
